Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

The O2 sensor was the cause of a temporary death of one my vehicles. Fixed the O2, good to go overall.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

That is great to hear about lil' g!

Good Morning Lodge!

We won't know about the car until Monday. It is at some shop on Hopkins. I think we did replace the O2 sensor about a year ago. I have no idea. For those who are wondering, yes the check engine light has been on the entire time. It has been on for at least 3 years, possibly more. Worse case it that we have to get a new car. I spoke with my cousin and she is willing to help us out on a discount on a car. So at least we have that going for us. :)

There will be much eating, drinking, and SENANICANS today at the House Of Neat Hats. Personally, it's just what the doctor ordered. Hopefully I can shed some of this work-related stress. And it looks to be a gorgeous day out. Warm during the day, crisp and cool tonight.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

Good morning Lodge.

Thanks for all the kinds words regarding little g.

Yes, little g is in a regular kindergarten. Obviously he will always have physical limitations but the part that is so reassuring is that he is performing at or above his peers in all other areas. Little g experienced significant trauma at birth and very well should not have survived and at a minimum he should be a severely brain damaged individual. That grey cloud has always loomed and due to that I have always taken the attitude that regarding little g it is what it is and i am ok with that. With that being stated and physical issues aside, I have spent the better part of the last few years preparing myself that he very well could have significant issues preventing him from performing at or near a level to those of his peers.

As he has grown he has slowly but surely met and at times surpassed certain milestones that every infant, toddler and preschooler experience. We have been extra sensitive to those milestones and rightfully so. Those milestones take time to hit and until they present themselves you never know going into them how he will develop into them if at all. Due to the unknown I have spent many a day and night preparing for every type of outcome. You can imagine what that might be like. Not fun and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Last night I called the doctor that cared for little g in the NICU ( he cared for little g from hours after his birth and until he was 6 weeks old). He is interested in receiving updates on little g and we communicate a few times each year. I updated him about little g and we both shared a few tears, happy tears. Don't get me wrong, there are other milestones out there over the next few years that he may or may not achieve but for the time being all is good and the future looks bright and there aren't enough words to describe just how awesome that is.

End of rant and I am off the soapbox.

gmann - this is not a rant. This is a heartfelt explanation of the struggles you and your family have faced since little g's birth and the amazing place where he is today, a place where you were most likely scared to hope for. But here he is. In kindergarten!! I absolutely love hearing about the milestones in his life and I appreciate your sharing these stories with all of us. The good and the bad.

Fall. Screw you summer! ;)

I really like this weather. Tonight we will have some friends over and after dinner we will have a fire. The temp will be nice and cool this evening and sitting around a hot campfire is what it's all about.

Quick update about little g for those of you keeping score from home.

His first week of school has concluded. Mrs. g and I met with his teacher and principal today after school. Granted, it has only been four days but the staff has been blown away by him. They are impressed with his academic abilities, manners, kind heart, big smile, ability to make friends and his infectious positive attitude. More importantly, we were concerned about him getting fatigued and wearing down by days end. This has been a non issue to this point.

Good stuff.

Afternoon, Lodge. Nothing to do today.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

Lodge, I just gotta say: What's happ-a-nin, Hot Stuff?

Where's 'diva! DIVA! Are you around? What do you think of those Newton Running shoes? I saw on their website that your employer carries them, so maybe you have an inside take?
