LMFAO

I'm talking about the rap group LMFAO...not the Internet acronym for laughing hysterically (in nicer terms than what it actually stands for).

All this morning, I've been hearing in my head their song 'Shots, Shots, Shots.'  I wish instead it was the lyrics 'Everyday I'm shufflin'.

Last night was the first of hundreds, if not thousands, of my endearing eldest's daily shots of growth hormones.  If it isn't one thing, it's another for this kid.  But with every challenge, he takes it like a champ.

He took the shot like a brave big boy - didn't cry, didn't flinch, didn't give us a hard time.  We will see what it is like every night from here on, to see if we keep getting the same response.

Hopefully this new regime of medical intervention will give us what he needs to catch up on not only his growth, but also his strength.  If that is the case, maybe, just maybe, other things will finally start to be easier for him...like writing, sitting, walking, going up and down stairs, gym class, grooming, getting changed, coordination...it is our constant endeavor to help him along to make things easier for him.  What I want to make easier for him, is the normal the rest of us take for granted.
