Go Dawgs!

Like clockwork, discussion of 'The Game' began at the breakfast table this morning. On cue, Knox and Walker struck into 'Glory, Glory to ole Georgia'.........


Sadly, Matt will not make the first game this year. A tragedy is in the make. With moving to a new home to take place within just a couple of weeks and a new baby in the house, the first game is just not doable this year. I will be ensnared here to endure the tension of the game within the small walls of our home. A few years ago, Matt was banned, by me, from having guest over to watch the game. After jumping on top of our funiture and yelling at the TV, with some of our favorite people here, I had to take action and place him on probation. He can't help it, it runs deep in his veins.

It's amazing what 11 guys dressed in red and black can do to a guy.

Anyway, if you are a Georgia fan or if you know Matt, you will appreciate this.

Matt: "We can't go to the game today guys. We will watch it on TV."

Knox: Emphatically. "No Daddy, I waaaant to go the Geooorgia game."

Matt: Big sigh. "We will watch it on TV today."

Knox: "But Daddy, I want to go to THAT PARTY!"

We couldn't help but to laugh. Our future is clear, we are doomed. But, Matt had a look of utter pride.

I understand the Daddy pride--Caiden had a mini University of Tennessee football uniform when he was 2--and a second one for backup:)

And Sometimes Feeding Your Kiddo Looks Like This...

A simple sentence. No one said it to me in the beginning, but boy did that tube cause a lot of chaos. The NG tube graduated to the G-tube which morphed to a GJ- tube…. A brief history of Ivey's feeding tubes: *The NG tube was in place the first time I ever saw my daughter in the NICU.  My only memory of her without a feeding tube is them placing her in my arms immediately following her birth. *The G-tube, well, that is a story within itself.  That decision did not come lightly.  Another hole in her.  Another decision on our plate, but not really on our plate, it was apparent it was a medical necessity for her survival.  Literally to give her a chance to live.  A permanent decision.  A 5am panic attack in the Scottish Rite elevator that happened to coincide with Dr. Meyers arriving at the hospital at the same time as me.... Our intersection in the elevator set the stage for the years to follow. From that point on, he knew I was a little nuts and a lot...

Sibling Secret Sauce

Siblings of kiddos with disabilities are amazing humans walking amongst us. They live a life, most often, in the shadows of their sibling who simply needs "more". More time. More direct attention. More of more. We have now come to a fork in our road. Our boys are young men, and, our daughter is a young lady. I'll be honest, I was uncertain what life would look like once the boys left this home, once they had their own time, in their own personal sunshine. We found out quickly once Knox left for college his freshman year what that would look like. And then, when Walker left, we knew what life would feel like in their absence. There was too much space. Ivey felt it. We get many compliments about the relationship the boys and Ivey have with one another. Hints here and there that, maybe, Matt and I had some secret recipe to parenting a household with a child that is very medically complex and a very complex communicator. This is what I can tell you - there is no re...
