Kind of surprising....

I didn't realize that it's been so long since I blogged last! Let's see what's new... Caleb has started seeing an occupation therapist to try to help with his anxiety. He hasn't been formally diagnosed with anxiety, but he's been struggling with some things in preschool and social situations. The occupational therapist is working with him to help develop coping strategies....we're in like week 2, so still early on. He'll be seeing the OT every other week for right now.

This was a really rough weekend. I close friend of mind was admitted to the hospital on Friday morning, and I've been at the hospital on and off since then. She's been not feeling well since about September, and kept getting told it was allergies and an infection...got put on antihistamines and antibiotics without any relief. Had an ultrasound on Tuesday which prompted a CT scan on Wednesday. Friday morning, the pain was too much and started affecting her breathing. She has been diagnosed with lymphoma. They won't know what kind until the biopsy results come back. She's been released and will follow up as an outpatient. It really makes you think about your own life and what's worth worrying about....like are my little struggles really worth getting upset about?
