Yeah, Tryp, why? You talk about how much you love snowboarding and stuff. That’s pretty badass and is often very social. You’re generally upbeat and you’re clearly intelligent. Get out there and start mingling!

Yeah tryp get out on those slopes  find yourself a sexy snow bunny to spend some time with.

You don't have to give her all your time. Just have some fun maybe you'll start to like it more and be less comfortable with being lonely. That's typically the way it goes!

Or find some boarder  bros/chicks to hit the terrain park with you. And learn some more tricks/grinds.  Hit some kickers etc. 





I used To go skiing every Christmas at  keystone Colorado. Never got a chance to snowboard.. I wish I did. Seeing as ive Skateboarded my entire life.

I got put on skis when I was a baby though so it so that was always easier and made more sense. Plus I had a blast either way.

I haven't gotten to ski in probably 10 or 12 years. And I really really want to.I wish I could teleport and hit the slopes with you.

I haven’t said much prior to now but today was tough.

My daughter has always been tiny, way below the weight curve. Just prior to Thanksgiving after a choking incident she developed a fear of swallowing and dinners have taken as kong as 3 hours. What little cushion she might have had before simply disappeared.

Today we had to do a feeding tube. We were trying to avoid it but we don’t have options anymore. Lots of tears and a lot of fear for my daughter. First attempt and she pulled it out in panic. Hydroxyzine to the rescue. By the end of the day she was in a pretty good place.

During the day we were startled by the wailing of a mother. The PICU has a lot of tough stories. I don’t know hers and I didn’t ask but you could see by the staff faces that it was a tough day.

We are hopeful that what we are facing is ARFID and not something more systemic or genetic. That said arfid is complicated in itself and a lot of work. Imagine an 8 year old having to essentially relearn and start from scratch how to eat again. Lots of eating therapy, lots of behavioral therapy, lots of PT to rehab atrophy.

Interesting complication I wasnt prepared for - when a body becomes significantly malnourished the effort to increase nourishment can send electrolytes way out of whack and cause significant heart issues. So as they increase nourishment blood is drawn every 8 hours to keep and eye on levels.

Despite the tears and scares of the day, my daughter still manages to pour her love out to the staff. It’s really amazing to see how empathetic and kind she is making sure to give and get hugs from staff as their shifts end. She is both my hero and my teacher - I am very blessed.

I know everyone has their own road and the trials are hard. I’ve learned that while I may have a significant trial someone else might have an even harder one. It’s not really about comparing mine to others but simply being aware that we all have what is the perfect teacher for ourselves. Then honoring everyone.

Thanks for being here for me to share and know that as you face your own challenges I’m here to walk beside you as you face yours.

Keep going - you got this.
