Milestone Monday

This blog is kind of depressing, as these type of blogs tend to be, but here’s the thing - my life is not depressing.  Yes, PBD is so, so hard and I definitely get depressed (shout out to Zoloft!), but there are honestly still these amazing moments with Max that I wouldn’t change for the world.  Maybe it’s the white wine talking, but this kid has taught me to truly appreciate life and all that each of us is capable of.  

As you may of guessed, we had a good day today in the Chapman household.  Like wine drinking on a Monday good.  We visited the ECHO clinic, where Max was able to show the audiologist what a dramatic improvement the hearing aids have had on his vocalization and interactions.  

Then, tonight - THIS:  


Yes, I know he is almost 2, but the pride I feel for this kid and how hard he has worked is like nothing I’ve ever felt before.  So tomorrow, I’ll wake up and we’ll go back to fighting and cursing this terrible disorder, but tonight we celebrate….
