YAY, Aidan, for trying Birria tacos! Mmmm...tacos are one of my samefoods, and the Birria hits just right some days. BIG HUGS, TIFFY....coordinating care is exhausting AF. Hoping Aidan gets the care he needs...especially in his mouth! Can’t imagine that if he was in pain, how difficult it would be for him to go about daily life. Love hearing about Aidan, blossoming as all of this is happening. He’s got the right mama, that’s for sure. You’re doing a great job, even when you don’t feel like it.
Sitting with you in the heaviness of these feelings...the feeling you should have done or been more, the joy at seeing him find some relief, yet wishing it had come sooner. You all got this, even when you feel you don’t. You keep showing up and you keep going and you keep being, and that matters, to Aidan, to Jojo, to your whole family and this community. May the tears be cathartic and cleansing, may you find energy to rejoice in getting some relief, may he get the care he needs as soon as possible and may y’all have some deep and restorative rest.
This one hits me in the gut. We went through something similar with my daughter, and it felt like it took forever to get the answer: she needed her wisdom teeth out. She was in pain. She was not okay — and I needed a village. Thank you for this space.
You're story is so powerful and you have a gift for writing and sharing these stories. You did not fail because you didn't give up. You can't Monday morning quarterback yourself when you're giving all your love and care. Aidan knows it and feels it. It's okay to not be okay but also remember to be a friend to yourself and don't judge yourself harshly as you would not do that to someone else. Keep being an amazing mom and advocate!
