When you don't know what to say

I'm having trouble writing.

It's certainly not from a lack of things to say.  I could write volumes upon volumes of all that was are dealing with these days.  Somehow the things we're dealing with are far too personal to write about and share here.

Eli's been going through some very difficult problems, but to share them here with the world seems unkind.  I want to celebrate his accomplishments here.  I want to share some of the eccentricities which he displays here, so people recognize why and they accept him as is.  But we're going through changes and challenges that are troublesome these days.  These things have caused some major upheaval to our lives.  I don't feel I can share them here. I don't feel they are appropriate to publicly write about.  I feel they would be unfair and embarrassing for Eli, and I never want him to feel uncomfortable with the blog...he's been in support of it up to now, and I don't want that to change.

So while we struggle through these difficult times alongside E, I feel I am limited on what I can say.  And that makes it difficult to keep up the blog.  I pray you bear with me during these dry spells, and just keep us in your prayers as we work through the tough times.  A recent medication change may be helpful in correcting some of the tough stuff.  Maybe if it goes away and becomes a thing of the past, then perhaps I will feel comfortable in writing about it.

Here in a couple of weeks I will be going in to talk with the entire 5th grade class at Eli's school in order to explain Tourette Syndrome to them.

I don't even know if I know enough about TS to explain it!

I'm hoping the school counselor, whose idea this was in the first place, will help to give me some guidance.  So that should be an interesting experience and one I'll be able to write about!

Til then............
