Growing Up

I made a doctor’s appointment for Sean this morning because he developed a cough last night. Correction: my Mom came over this morning, got me out of bed, and called the doctor to make the appointment because I was too sick.

There were no appointments available for Pediatrics today but because he is 18, my Mom was able to make an internal medicine appointment for him. He’s old enough to be seen in internal medicine which kind of blows my mind!

My mind was further blown because he drove himself to the appointment. I didn’t have to go with him and that was the first time in his life. I was too sick anyway! He texted me from the pharmacy as he waited for a prescription for his cough to be filled.

My face really hurt today because I am not well yet. I fell asleep reclined in my wheelchair and I was only awakened by my son covering me with a blanket before he went into his room. I saw him walking into his room as I drifted back to sleep. I think it’s a little bit crazy that my son is growing up but my son is growing up…
