Its been a while, but it was time to take Rowan in to be seen to be fully cleared to go back to regular life. He’s had a few lingering things since his bout of covid, so I wanted to have him checked fully over to make absolutely sure he isn’t fighting any additional infection/sickness. So Brady, Rowan, Wavy, and I went into the city together once the others had gone to school.
Guys, it is just frigid these days! Yikes!!
Before Rowan’s appointment, we ran a couple of errands. Nothing major. A stop for coffees, which we haven’t done in forever! A stop at Dollarama to buy them out of certain supplies for Brady’s projects. A stop at Michaels for yarn that they didn’t have, but also for yarn that they did have! 😍 Stay tuned for some new little projects I have on the go.
Then the four of us went to Walmart together, like I said before, for the first time in a LONG time!!! When I went to get Brady’s wheelchair out of our van, the one wheel wasn’t locked, making it a lot harder to take out. But once I got it out, the brake was just hanging by a thread, completely broken. Of all things. So we added that to our list of things to do and carried on.
After Walmart, we headed to the doctors office and Rowan and I waited only a few minutes before it was time. This kid is SO handsome.
He had a VERY long appointment, where we went far beyond covid talk and got into sleep, behavior, mental health, and directions to move in. I feel armed with support, ideas, and information now! And an even bigger win – Rowan says he really likes going to the doctor! Woot!
When all was said and done, we were at the doctors WAY longer than anticipated, and needed to get the kids lunch. And a donut for being SO patient and cooperative.
And one for Wavy too, because it was necessary.
Aaaaand coffee, again, for Brady and I. Because it was that kind of day.
We still hit another couple of stores, because at this point, we decided to just lurk a little longer and then pick the kids up all together. We got the mail, and took our time. It was a really full, really nice day.
And we came home to water damage on our ceiling.
I could scream.
But I won’t.
We have GOT to get out of the house.
