So our little Maggie moo has had to get splints for her hands to wear while she sleeps. The purpose? To encourage her to keep her hands open more often. The result? She won’t sleep, at all. She’s been making a lot of progress and has been very responsive to her physical and occupational therapy, but she has clearly drawn a little baby line in the sand on this one.
On the bright side, it does appear she’s keeping her hands open more, so they are working. They are also helping us all suffer from sleep deprivation. Will, having returned from a previous week with Grandma’s (the week before my lan party which was on the 3rd) has finally started to normalize from the spoiling that went down. I love when he gets to spend time with his extended family, but I loathe trying to get him back into alignment afterwards. It’s usually not accomplished without me being a iron wall, which no parent truly wants to be with their child. Poor Amanda hasn’t been as lucky in terms of his best behavior in my absence. It appears that we are at the point of: “Just wait till your daddy gets home”. He is our little man though and we love him, he’s tons of fun, full of humor. Right now with Maggie’s therapy, we are certain he is feeling a bit neglected. It’s hard to explain to a 3 year old why their sibling is getting more attention than them.
Pray for them both and my wife as well. These are trying, stressful times for all of us. There are days where we feel absolutely broken. We are still blessed, but the world has a way of blinding you from that.
In other news, I’m officially doing OSD testing and building as of the past two weeks. So another SCCM feature/function/tech that I’ve had the chance to use in an applicable fashion. So far I’m enjoying it, the initial building and testing though is very time consuming.
I’ve mostly been toying with MDT then applying what I see/learn from there to my SCCM builds. It’s interesting, but I will assume it becomes less intense after I configure a baseline.
I’m also down to (started at 178) 164 lbs now and down 2 pants sizes from my workout regiment and dietary change.
That’s all I have for now, for this disjointed blog post.
