Prayers
My dear friend has been transferred to ICU today. Hopefully this will be a place of healing for him as he will receive one to one care there.
Say a little prayer for Mr. B, won't you?
He needs special mending.

Hospital Visits
It's the annual Radioathon for the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation. Listening to families' experiences is heart wrenching. Even more so because we have been there, been THAT family in need & staying in the ICU & on Unit 3. We are THAT family whose kids live to visit the hospital. It's old home week for us when we visit or have appointments.
Despite our previous hospital stays and needs, we are blessed beyond belief. Rhett & Warner are both In good health & we aren't in need of hospital stays.
Today I visited a dear friend in the Foothilks Hospital and was again reminded of how fantastic the Children's is. The FHC is old, with skinny hallways & no storage, low ceilings & does not feel like a place of healing. Again, we are so blessed.
Again, my heart tore a bit to see a friend hurting in that hospital room. So if you have spare prayer to send out, say one for my friend "B". He could really use it.

...and in other news....
It's Epi-member Folks!
That's right. Bust out your purple attire, put on your brain-face, and raise some Epilepsy Awareness.
Rhett's meds are keeping the Seizure Monsters at bay. Rarely a breakthrough seizure. Yes!
Always, the concern of those monsters stalking him are in the back of our mind. While on the forefront are the effects of those seizures. The delays, the struggles, etc that Rhett works to overcome everyday.
This is why awareness is so important. Overcoming, fitting in, achieving, and showing people that there are reasons making friends, playing with others, and following directions (to share a mere glimpse) are challenging.
Awareness was shown to me on a different level yesterday by a friend of my sister's. This lady is amazing. I would say her Epilepsy is severe. Her seizures are still uncontrolled and have affected her in many different ways, yet she is the most positive, inspiring, happy person. For example, physical mobility is becoming more limited yet she walked 5k....using a walker....this week. 5k people!!! Woot woot Ms. TO!
....and in other news, there is a bit of venting wanting to burst from my fingers.
Our sweet, "Sheldon-esque" Warner spent a "fun" afternoon at a new friend's. This 3 hr playdate included 3 hrs of playing Halo, and eating ice cream, cheese, crackers, meat and fruit punch.
Gahhh!!!! This is the where the ADHD monster steps in. Shall we liken it to Animal of the Muppets? How about Animal crossed with Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. That's bang on!
If there was a way to provide Warner with a one day effective detox, that would eliminate the extreme reactions those three hours have created, I'm in. If only......

Alone Time
Oh the silence. Other than the sound of a book I am listening to on Audible. The children and my sweet husband are out for the evening to invest the boys into Beavers and Cubs.
I love, love, looooove being home alone. A little down time, a little silence, a little adult noise. Ahem, the dishwasher and the IPHONE. It's peaceful. The sky is dark and so is the house.
Our life here at RWB has revolved around the boys, our family's work'n'dad's home schedule, and just day to day life. The unexciting and definitely not mundane. We are homeschooling both boys, continuing with our work away & solo parenting schedule, friends, and lego lifestyle.
Recently, blogging has been inching back into the edges of my mind again. I have missed you and missed blogging. So here I am, writing, while listening to an audio book, in the dark and enjoying this small process of re-opening the blog.
Until next time.....

Today's Motto
If they don't offer....don't ask.
It's summer time and the boys have been blessed to spend this week's mornings at Lego Camp.
They are living it!
As of yesterday, and of course that opinion is subject to change....without notice.
Today's motto stems from morning drop off as I ASKED the instructor ( whom we have had on diff occasions) how it went yesterday.
Reply:
(Pause)
"OK. "
(pause)
"There were some tense moments."
*sinking...sinking* Ugh.
Well.
He didn't offer up any further info & I'm not asking (yet) as Warner and Rhett are happy, and all looked well at the end of end of the day yesterday......so I'm not asking. ;)
