I was struggling for a while after Greyson was born. By far the most challenging time in my life. After 6-8 months I think I was finally getting accustom to the role of being a father. I was dealing with the negative thoughts and stresses that were affecting me. It took a lot of timeContinue reading “Post 16 My Challenge Continued…”

Post 15 My Challenge
I know I have spoken a lot about Greyson’s challenges and what we have been through as a family. We talked a lot about finding our mission and purpose in life. What I haven’t spoken about is my personal challenges during this period and what I have gone through as a man and father. IContinue reading “Post 15 My Challenge”
Post 14 For A Reason
Greyson has really changed our lives in so many ways. I could not possibly have imagined that we would be where we are right now 5 years ago. Everyone always says that having a child is never what you expect, no matter how much you prepare you will never be completely ready. I believed thatContinue reading “Post 14 For A Reason”
Post 13 Fighting For Greyson
When Greyson was in early intervention and about 2 years old, we were working with an awesome OT and DI. We had a wonderful experience with them and Greyson did as well. They really helped us learn a lot. However, the experience with our program director was horrible. She was never meant to work inContinue reading “Post 13 Fighting For Greyson”
Post 12 A Life With Purpose
Our journey has taken us to an amazing place! Somewhere that seemed unimaginable just 5 years ago. I had so many ideas of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to accomplish 5 years ago. I was just unsure exactly what I should do to get to the place I knew I wantedContinue reading “Post 12 A Life With Purpose”
Post 11 Reduced Support
In early 2020 things were progressing very well in ABA. We were working with 3 therapists and doing 15 hours of therapy a week. Then we were hit by the pandemic. Obviously, the whole world has been massively affected by the unprecedented time, but we were suddenly on our own again. Like we were goingContinue reading “Post 11 Reduced Support”
Post 10 The Moment
Greyson changed a lot from the time he was 12 months to 18 months old. At a year of age, Greyson was saying baba and mama all the time. He was playing with new toys and playing with them in a different way. He was also playing with his food, and eating all different typesContinue reading “Post 10 The Moment”
Post 9 Blessings
The journey we have had so far has been a complete roller coaster ride. Nothing in my life could have prepared me for the experience. The emotional and physical tole was immense. In the beginning it was a grieving process. I was in denial, then I moved to anger and I was completely overwhelmed byContinue reading “Post 9 Blessings”
Post 8 Regression
During early intervention we encountered one of, if not the most difficult situations we have had along our journey. One day when my parents came over and walked in, Greyson immediately walked them to the door and tried pushing them out to leave. Obviously, they stayed and we had a good time. However, when weContinue reading “Post 8 Regression”
Post 7 Grey’s Personality Shines
It was a little before 2 years old when Greyson’s personality really started to shine! I really saw him coming into his own as his personality showed. He was happy, active, loving and always on the go. Previously, he was in his own world much of the time, he started to interact a little bitContinue reading “Post 7 Grey’s Personality Shines”
