The Passing of time

I have heard it said that time flies when you are having fun. I believe the last two years have proven that theory wrong. Time has flown by, but it was not fun. I realized today it has been almost two years sense I last made a blog post. December 2019 was busy. Then 2020 came. Nothing happened in 2020. We spent a lot of it locked away from the world for Daniel’s sake.

While 2021 has been better from the standpoint of getting back to some degree of normal, it has been harder than 2020. We lost my mother in law in January and a week ago I was finalizing the service for my grandfather. We have been fortunate to stay healthy.

There have been some good things that have happened in the last year. Super D was approved for a Vagus Neuro Stimulator. It is an interesting device, somewhat like a pacemaker, only attached to the Vagus Nerve in his neck. The idea is it will retrain his brain not to seize by sending a small shock for 30 seconds every five minutes. As long as he stays healthy, he will have that done in December.

I began the blog with the best intentions and lofty goals. Life with Super D makes it difficult to write a blog post every week. On top of that I have been working on another project, but more on that later. The hope now is to publish a blog post every month.

I have had some interesting experiences over the last year. Even though the blog has been stagnant, I have received numerous emails about the harness we bought Daniel. Those have been a bit of encouragement to start blogging again. The other project I have been working on is all about helping and reaching our families, even if it is just one. God has been drawing me back to this work with those people who just need a few answers. You can read that post here.

This month will be a little different. I expect to release another post in a few weeks with details on the other project I was working on. There are a few things that need to be finalized first.

Stay tuned!
