Well, it's only been about 4.5 years since I've updated my blog. 👀 Someone recently asked if I was still providing updates via my blog and when the answer was no, I got a pang of nostalgia. Or was it guilt?!? When I posted my last update in 2019, not realizing it was my last post for a few years, I was feeling a little overwhelmed with life. Juggling working, the kids, extra cirricular activities, therapies, doctor appointments, all of it. Every time I thought about blogging I got stresssed out about it. Writing had always been my therapy but then it turned into a something I felt like I had to do and the more I stressed out about it I kept saying tomorrow, I'll do it tomorrow. And then tomorrow turned into a week, which turned into a month, which turned into years. I've thought about writing several posts over the years but never did. I have definitely missed writing, especially when it comes to historic data I need for Alex. Over the course of the years I've relied on my blog to keep my memory straight on all she's endured and that's definitely been a missing link. I've also always loved looking back on Zach's childhood and family memories. So....here we go. Again.
A LOT has obviously transpired over the years. Covid, surgeries, therapies, illnesses, milestones, set backs, etc. There's no way to go back and recreate all of that for a post so I'll just start with what's happened most recently. Alex is 22. Gosh it seems unreal to see that in writing. For the most part, she's doing well!
