Hi Everyone!
My name is Jill and I’m the parent of an 8 year old boy with special needs. This is not only my first blog post, but my first blog ever. I gave this blog the saucy little title I did because I’m a mom of a special needs kid who also works full-time. I also like to laugh and don’t take myself too seriously. I really have no time to blog, much less do anything else other than work and take care of my son. However, I like to write and I thought it might be fun and a little cathartic to share with others who might be in a similar situation.
What I hope to do with this blog is share my experiences and maybe connect with others who are dealing with similar things. Maybe we can learn something from one another – but let’s not judge one another, because that’s not cool. I also hope we can have some laughs! Let’s face it, we’re all dealing with some serious stuff, so I think a good laugh is needed every once and awhile to stay sane.
Just a little background on us, my son, Owen, began having partial seizures at 4 months old and was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms at 5 months old. He had a hemisphrectomy at 15 months old and a vagus nerve stimulator implanted when he was three years old. We’ve rarely had good seizure control. We had two good years recently, but now we’re back to almost daily seizures. Good times (sarcasm, of course).
Like I said, I’m pretty busy, so I don’t know at what frequency I’ll be writing here. Maybe daily, maybe weekly, monthly, who knows. We’ll see how this goes. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you stop by again real soon.
I Don't Have Time for This Sh*#!
