Paralysis, Lizards & Puzzles - Oh, My!

Just a semi-typical day around here!  Drew was paralyzed for about 40 minutes today on his right side with a hemiplegic migraine.  I pulled over at the first available spot and happened to park next to a giant water fountain at a huge skyscraper office building.  As Drew was at the height of his migraine, a storm blew in causing hundreds of gallons of water from the fountain to blow on our car!   I kid you not.  It felt like a hurricane.  Water poured in from my sun roof and airbag holes.  It was raining inside the car while my son was paralyzed and screaming.  Totally awesome.  He recovered like the champ that he is and was completely back to baseline within the hour.

We came home to find...LIZARDS in the mailbox.  Holding my mail hostage.  My neighbor has never seen a single lizard at her house, which is how I know it's obviously a personal vendetta between the lizards and I.  Ruuuuuu.
 
So the mail remains unchecked.

Drew's back to himself and we are doing puzzles!  Love this kiddo!  He's the strongest person I know!


You'd never know that right arm was paralyzed 5 hours ago!

Glad Drew is so strong and recovers quickly. He's that way because he's got a strong Mama! :)

Good gracious! When it rains, it pours - literally! I'm so sorry that you had a no good, rotten, very bad day. I'm so glad that precious Drew recovered so quickly, though. That kid amazes me! I agree with your sister - strong kid from a strong Mama! Love you, Friend!

I am so glad that Drew recovered so quickly....that is for sure. Sweet baby boy. Love him!!!
Sorry about your car.
ha ha ha...I can't believe that you are afraid of that little lizard. What do you think he would think to see your big hand coming towards him?
