Day 121

OK, really rotten morning. One of those days when Josh wouldn't get up from the floor, peed on the floor, then took forever on the pot. By the time he was dressed for school, there was no time for breakfast. So, he took it with to school and, as fate would have it, had a pretty good day at school. They did not have swimming but had art - he's got something about the art teacher and he hit her again - could be the smells in the room, the fine motor aspect of it, don't know if she moves in close, just don't know why. They did a foot fish - don't know if this is really how they did it but Josh said he put his foot on the paper and someone drew around his foot, then he put eyes and "paper stuff" on the fish. Don't know if the hit may have happened when drawing around the foot or what - didn't get the whole story. On the other hand, when he is working with almost anything else, he participates, gets praise for his work, and, according to the daily sheet, had a much, much better day than yesterday, and "it was a pleasure working with Josh today." Apparently there was something that happened getting on the bus after school, though - they brought him out in the wheelchair and he slid out of it, getting his rear end stuck in the chair. After they got him out of the chair, he had one of his "meltdowns," then got on the bus - all of it about 10 minutes. Getting off, he was hesitant and it took about 6 minutes to get him off - I finally got up on the bus, took his hand and said, "let's go." He got off. He was really tired, I could tell.

But, we sat down on the couch and took about 15 minutes or so to just talk. Josh was resting his head on me and we talked about cooperating, what that means, how we all need to cooperate with each other, etc. I told him his behavior the last few days is not cooperating and he needs to change that. He said that sometimes when he just sits down or lays down on the floor he sees the blue light or his eyes get wobbly. So we talked about how he really needs to use his words to tell people - if he wants people to cooperate with him and not get frustrated or angry, then he needs to tell them what is going on in his head and then maybe they can help him instead of getting angry or whatever. I like sitting and just talking with him - maybe he doesn't understand all that we talk about but, eventually, maybe he'll get it.

As I was making dinner, he dumped the entire wastebasket of his newspapers - huge pile right by the couch. He was just going to let it sit but, nope, I said he had to pick it all up (roast beef got a little overcooked but oh well). I held the bag and we sort of made a game out of it - I see a blue and white paper, I see a paper with a letter X, etc. - it was all picked up in about 5 minutes. He ate a huge dinner and we talked the whole time. I have to say, sometimes my brain starts hurting figuring out his words and the context he speaks in, but it is nice to have a conversation.

Which leads me to the show Parenthood. I happened to catch it tonight. There's a kid on the show who is supposed to have autism. His dad was frustrated and hurt when the kid didn't want to talk to him, have a simple conversation, etc. All I could think of is that I know so many people, sometimes myself included, who have the same frustrations. It's hard raising a kid with needs, it's sometimes lonely, it's exhausting on a lot of different levels. Sometimes you start the day behind the eight ball because your kid behaves in such a way that you just head off to work exhausted. But then there are the times that your kid accomplishes something that you've never thought he could, or he does engage in a conversation that makes a lot of sense, or he comes up with an idea that surprises the heck out of you - and it's all worth it. My career is dealing with people who have been convicted and are imprisoned or serving time of some sort - it's the rare occasion that we get a win, but when we do, we all savor the moment and it makes the career worth it - we've accomplished something, we've upheld the constitution or someone's rights in some way. It's the same in my life with Josh - I savor those moments when there's an accomplishment or a surprise, or a hug from out of nowhere.

Tomorrow, Day 122.

Day 120

Another mixed bag today. Josh got up just fine, got washed/dressed, ate a good breakfast, then wouldn't go outside for the bus. He finally did after a few minutes, then had a full blown PNES when the bus got here (bus was pretty late). The daily sheet said he got off the bus OK, but then went into the bathroom at 9:10 and didn't get off the pot until 10:45! They had to sort of "force" a "meltdown" (we really need to come to terms with the terms - I'm pretty sure they were talking about a PNES) and he got up all happy and went right into the hygiene stuff without a problem. They went for a long walk and, in a crosswalk, he laid down. They had the wheelchair with them so got him into it and off the street. He walked, then, for about 45 minutes! Josh's teacher wrote that she really wants to use the wheelchair for those times that it could be, really, dangerous so they are putting limits on it - he can use the wheelchair to cross the street but only if he uses his arms to move it, same with some times in school, but otherwise he has to walk. And, his teacher started a new kind of visual calendar that tells Josh when it's OK to use the wheelchair and when it's not. My concern is he is going to become reliant on a wheelchair but maybe not, and I know it makes it all easier for school folks. I just wish, hope, pray that these PNES and the laying down thing eases up. It actually has since last spring, but it's behavior that is definitely getting really, really old. Other than those times at school and this a.m., he seemed to have a pretty good day. I simply don't get it....

Tomorrow, Day 121. Keep fingers crossed that it will be an easier day - they go to SEDOM, swimming, etc. Could be interesting.

Day 117, 118 and 119

Kind of a rough few days. Don't even remember what the note said for Friday but I know the bus times were hard. Yesterday I had to go to the office again so Gramma and Boompah were here. They said Josh played around for awhile but mostly they were just "lazy." Josh wanted to order supper so we ordered and Dad went to get it - when he got back, Josh was almost totally asleep, didn't get up to eat, and did fall asleep while we were eating. He wound up going up to bed without eating (he did get his meds in along with an NV - he wound up having an extra NV since he didn't drink them on Friday - he had school lunch and I'm not exactly sure what happened with the drinks for lunch and during the day). Anyhow, he had enough protein throughout the day.

Started Josh back on the fish oils (earlier than I had planned but that's OK) - Ultimate Omega blend from Nordic Naturals - keeping him on the basic dose (2 caps a day) for now and he's taking it without any complaint - "the magic fish" that helped him so much with speech. I started him on them yesterday, Day 118. Today, Day 119 (of NV, that is) his sentences were already longer and clearer. But, on the other hand, he was so uncooperative today. We went to Ottawa - but it took an hour and 15 minutes for him to get off the floor after getting out of bed, then just sat on the toilet for another 20 minutes or so. I think he was working himself up to being overly anxious about going. We finally got out the door and to Ottawa. The day was OK except he wouldn't even consider getting out of the car. On the way home, he got very teary and said he missed Ottawa and "the old house" (which happens to be for sale). We talked about how I miss Ottawa too sometimes, and it's an OK thing to miss our friends and the happy times we had there. But, it's also really important to think of the good things that are happening now - so we went through a bunch (we like our house, our cats, Josh loves his teacher and school and SEDOM, etc., etc.). When we got home around 5:30, he wouldn't come out of the car. He finally came in around 6:10 or so. He went right into the bathroom, threw his dirty clothes down to the basement, came into the living room where I was. I sat down on the couch and said today was too much for me, that his behavior and the uncooperativeness was too much for today. So, what does the stinker do - comes right over and gives me a hug and kiss, and says, "I love you, Mommy." How can you possibly remain upset or worn out after that?

Days 114, 115, and 116

Well, except for a few hitting incidents at SEDOM on Tuesday, Day 114, Josh had a pretty good day. And, except for that little incident, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show? Hhhmm... I guess there were a couple of hits while helping Josh change clothes before/after swimming (and he had a great time in the pool and did well there! whoo hoo!!), and, for some reason, he got his art teacher right in the face. Don't know what that was about and Josh wouldn't talk about it. I think the daily sheet said there was a meltdown or two around the bus and lunch times so, really, not so great a day.

But, it could be because he was starting to feel sick. On Wednesday, Day 115, I got a call around 1:00 or so that he had thrown up and was running a fever. Seems there was another kid in his class who was sent home with the same symptoms earlier that day, and, when I got to school at 2:00, there were two other moms from other classrooms picking up their kids. The secretary said to one mom that she tried to get her kid to keep some crackers down but he didn't. Hhhmm.. So, I brought Josh home and he just was fine! I had called Gramma and Boompah on the way to pick Josh up - I had planned on stopping after work to pick up some last minute things but wasn't going to be able to. I knew they were out and about so asked them if they could pick up the couple things and just drop them off. Little did I know that Mom had gotten a shot for her eye and was wearing a big 'ol eye patch! Yeesh! So they stayed only a little bit and Josh was up and playing. Go figure. He still had a slight fever, and I only gave him some juice and a piece of toast later in the evening - it all stayed down just fine.

Today, Day 116, I had arranged to work from home - reading a transcript - and Josh snoozed almost 3 hours in the morning. He kept himself busy, watched some movies (I got him to watch Annie Get Your Gun! Yeah!!! He loved it!!!), snoozed a little more. He felt a little warm around 4:00 - but thermometer didn't register any fever - it is hot in the house today from the weather. He kept food down - did it easy - mostly juice, a couple cups of milk with the NV in it, some toast - did a french toast thing for lunch and then just a PBJ for supper with a little fruit. He seems fine so he'll go to school tomorrow. Right now, he's laying on the couch, picking his nose - YUCK!!! I wish I knew a way to get him to stop that. Unfortunately, there are several adults he knows/sees who laugh about it, make light of it, and engage in the practice themselves - but they tell Josh they do it in private, in the bathroom - wish Josh would just pick that schnozzola in the bathroom! YUCK!!!

I'm watching Josh out of the corner of my eye - he's laying there playing with his fingers, pressing pointer to pointer, middle to middle, etc., like finger exercises! Pretty cool to watch.

Tomorrow, Day 117. Decided that, on Day 120, I will reintroduce the fish oils - Josh has been off those for a long time now for various reasons. We'll see if there are any surges or anything. I have not been happy with how speech is going - to me it seems like a bit of regression in articulation although his sentences are much lengthier. The speech therapist who did the eval a couple of weeks ago called yesterday and said she will not recommend speech therapy at this time but will recommend Josh get evaluated for an assistive device. Hhhmm... She sent the referral over to Josh's doc so I'll call in a few days for the referral. Therapist is most concerned about functional speech - well, why not recommend speech therapy to work on verbalizing functional speech in an understandable way rather than relying on a device? I'm conflicted on this....

Day 113 into 114

Looked like a pretty good day (with a couple of "meltdowns" during the day), Day 113. Daily sheet showed Josh participated in even more things at school, was working well with the adults.

I was cleaning out a box from the garage (still have some in there that haven't even been opened since moving in a year ago!) and found an exercise program I had picked up at a special needs seminar. Program was designed for folks on the autism spectrum, ADHD, depression, and other issues. So, I took it out and Josh and I were exercising. I kept having to get him up off the couch but, in fact, he did it! Lots of crossing the midline stuff, marching, stretching, some complicated things (the two folks on the DVD both are on the spectrum) - Josh really likes the stretching. Curiously, the DVD says that calf stretching is good for speech development - hhhmm... wonder why? And crossing the midline (touching right hand to left knee while marching, etc.) is really good for a lot of things. So, if I can get Josh up and moving to that DVD maybe three times a week to start, it will be really good for both of us!

Into Day 114 - at SEDOM and swimming! Josh was talking about the swimming as he was falling asleep last night - sure hope they use the chair in the shower room again as that really made him feel safer last time!

Days 109, 110, 111, and 112

Did it again - too many days without writing. Yeesh.

The daily sheet on Thursday and Friday (Days 109 and 110) show that there seems to be a couple of times that are consistently hard for Josh and his transitions at school - goes into "meltdowns" or whatevers - right about lunchtime and afterward when they go out or for their "leisure" time. And, it doesn't seem to matter whether it's at school or when they are at SEDOM or the greenhouse - so I'm wondering if he's just tired (so sensory stuff is exacerbated), or maybe just plain hungry/low sugar/headache before lunch. Josh's p-t conference is coming up in two weeks so definitely something to talk about, if not before then. Josh's teacher is, understandably, a bit on the busy side especially with one new student to her classroom, so I need to remember to be patient.

Thursday (Day 109) Josh came home with a pink envelope for me. They had been playing a listening bingo game during the day and I guess he got to choose a prize for winning a round - he chose a present for me! This is the first time he has, on his own initiative, chosen to give a present to anyone - surprising! And it was appropriate - it was a really cute bracelet!

His teacher wrote that she was helping him make a card for me (the card in the pink envelope)and he hit her a couple of times in the face - he has had a couple of hitting incidents (hit a kid in the lunchroom also that day). I know this sounds wacky, but hitting was always Josh's response (that fight or flight thing) to sensory and anxiety overloads. When he broke the leg last Fall, the fight went out of him - he didn't even really hit the people in the hospital even with all the pain and fear. He went "into himself" and that's when the seizures started - both epileptic and non, as well as the anxiety stuff. It's been heck trying to figure out things this past year since it has been so incredibly different with him retreating into himself. The hitting in the last few weeks maybe is him turning the corner and coming back to himself - not that it's great to be hitting, but it seems like this is a return to the Josh he's been until last Fall. I don't know, just a theory.

Josh did an "excellent" job on Friday, Day 110, with the buses, and, except for the meltdowns before and after lunch, he had a great day it seems - participated in things, worked well with the adults, was "compliant," and did a great job getting off the bus even with workers next door banging away putting a new roof on the neighbors house!

Yesterday, Day 111 (Saturday), I had to go to the office again (wish Francis would come back, or let me know when she'll be back so I can figure out a better schedule for the time being) so Gramma and Boompah kidsat for the day. Mom said he was terrific, played with the train, watched a little TV, they all snoozed a little, he was helpful in the kitchen - and she said he was such a gentleman! At one point, she was getting up to go the bathroom and Josh got up, held her walker to stabilize it, went ahead of her to the bathroom and turned on the light and lifted the toilet seat lid! What a guy! She said later that, at one point, she was worried Josh was going to hit Dad - Josh was going to the fridge to get his milk for lunch and Dad was leaning right next to him at the fridge door to help him find it - up close and personal, so to speak. But, Josh did great! And, back to bathroom stuff (sorry), Josh has been more particular about his modesty, shall we say.. Mom would normally check on him in the bathroom when he goes to pee or whatever (!), but now he's asking for Boompah - maybe a guy thing, but, and I just thought of this, maybe it's Josh being nice to Gramma - make it easier on her to not have to get up the stairs to the bathroom? Hhhmmm...

Today, Day 112, Josh and I were totally lazy. We were going to go train hunting but after breakfast we both just plopped down on the couches and fell back to sleep. We didn't get up again until almost 11:00! I was going to mow the lawn, wash the kitchen floor, vacuum some, make some breakfast cookies, etc., etc. Nope, zip, nada - we both just were, as I said, totally lazy! It felt good!

Tomorrow, Day 113, back to the plan, Stan!

Day 107, 108, into 109

Day 107 - had a good day at school even though a few "meltdowns." It seems there are certain times of the day (and yesterday's note shows it again) when the meltdowns happen - getting off and sometimes on the bus at school, lunchtime. There has to be some connection, and a way for school folks to circumvent the habit it seems he's into there. The rest of the days go really well and the note is always that Josh had a good day or a great day - and the communication system shows he's working hard, is participating in things, etc. The major transitions during the school day are what is causing problems.

At home, he's getting on the bus really well, off the bus easily, and he's playing around the house after school. He's tired, that's for sure. He's not taking any snoozes during the school day (with rare exception), so when he gets home he plays for a couple hours, we have dinner, and then he just collapses on the couch - snore city! Going up to bed has been no problem - I just wake him, and walks right upstairs.

Heard from a friend whose daughter has autism. Keeping them in my thoughts and prayers, that's for sure. One of those stories where the dd was totally mishandled by school folks and she wound up in behavioral hospital for 9 weeks. Horror story all the way around. She's home now, but it sounds like they are going through the wringer. (so glad I didn't listen to one doc who suggested Josh go into hospital - things have improved so much since meeting with Dr. Madamala and Dr. Straube - finding the right people is so gosh darn hard and I feel like we've been very lucky in that regard).

Yesterday, Day 108, was the one year anniversary of the broken leg. I happened to look at my clock on my computer at 12:48 - just about the minute last year that I was getting in the ambulance with him. Yeesh, what a memory to hold on to. Thank goodness he made the recovery he did - that leg is stronger than ever, and even straighter than it had been with practically no pronation in that left foot anymore! It's taken a long time, but I think even Josh is feeling like he's stronger.

So, into day 109. I can't wait to set the clocks back - this getting up in the dark stinks!

Days 98 into Day 107

Wow, computer problems, busy-ness, and just plain forgot - 10 days without writing here - oops!

Just summary, then - overall, PNES have gone down to maybe - maybe - one a day. There was one day Gramma and Boompah were kidsitting while I went to the office (this past Sat. - Day 104, I think that would have been) - Josh had a terrific day - played all day with them, took a very short snooze, was great about getting up to go pee, absolutely no meltdowns or overloads or PNES. Was the day after a session with psychologist and doc brought in his dog - a little pet therapy. Josh had a great time with the dog - a bit slow on leaving but no full blown PNES, just a very short overload as he got in the car after the session, but then jumped up and took the leash from doc and ran around the parking lot with the dog! I really have to reconsider the idea of getting a dog! Josh is having transition problems at school - especially into the cafeteria. He says it makes him "nerwous" with all the noise but we have decided to keep on trying. Our kidsitter's grandma, sadly, passed away on Sunday so I hope (selfishly, I know) that Francis will be joining us again soon. Had speech eval and vision exam on day 101 - not encouraging with the speech eval - she said she did not want to be discouraging because there is always room for improvement but she is going to pitch it to the insurance company that Josh needs work on functional speech and is going to see about getting a small assistive device for such circumstances as when we're out in a mall or something like that - in case he gets separated he will have the device to let people know who he is and who I am (since speech is hard to understand for strangers). I had hoped speech would be affected by NV but I'm not seeing it - other things, yes, but not speech. Vision exam went well - 20/40 in both eyes and no need right now for glasses (thank goodness!), but something to keep in mind.

So, today is, if I've counted correctly, day 107 on NV. On with the day!

Days 95, 96, 97 and into 98

Closing in on 100 days on NV - huge progress in some areas, some not as much in others, but definitely worth continuing on it.

Generally pretty good end to the week, again a couple of "meltdowns," seems to be mostly mid-day at lunchtime (tired? hungry? noise? Josh says the noise makes him "nerwous") and on Thursday getting on the bus after school - don't remember if it was raining that day but it was definitely hot and humid, tired? (Gramma and Boompah surprised us on Thursday - they came by with YooHoo for Josh, and Gramma and I sat outside to wait for the bus - Josh got off beautifully) Otherwise, Josh is working very hard, is attentive, is needing very few (if any) prompts on pretty much every day. He is amazingly good at math, of all things! You consider math is a pretty abstract subject, I'm sure they're using tactile for math but, gotta say, I'm surprised at how much he likes it and is so good at it. It's still very elementary math - no algebra or trig (!) - which actually is a good thing since I stink at math and would never be able to help him with homework! LOL! I sure wish the reading would come though. And, he's doing a great job getting on the bus in the a.m. and off at home - he's coming down the stairs all on his own, keeping his eyes open (always a good thing!), and getting right up. Bonnie, the afternoon driver, said she is running out of stickers for him (reward system for getting up/off the right way - her concern has been that, in an emergency, he would not be able to get off - I'm thinking if there's an emergency, even if he's doing a good job daily, he is going to have a very hard time getting off a bus - thank heavens no emergencies have arisen and I pray they don't!). The note on Friday also said that one of the aides, the gentleman named Frank, came up with a really fun system for Josh to complete "tasks" - the parts of the tasks are placed around the classroom and Josh has to go around putting elements of the tasks in a container - he really likes it (maybe associates it with collecting garbage!). Smart man, Frank!

Had a rough day yesterday, Day 97. It seems there is often one day of the weekend that is hard - could be he's just tired from the week and needs to have a "lazy day." But, when you've got things to do, places to be, and people to meet, arranging the weekend for whichever day might be lazy is difficult. Josh was very resistent to getting up and going, resistent to getting in the car (we had planned on going to Elmhurst for train watching and a picnic - I made a big picnic lunch and, as he did once before, would not get up to go - so he lost out on it; after Elmhurst we were going to go to the office where he could help me pack up a lot of his stuff in anticipation of the office move in October - Josh wound up spending the day at Gramma and Boompah's where, of course, he was terrific, and I wound up getting a lot of work done at the office), was resistent to coming back home after Gramma's, but he was great about going up to bed.

This a.m., Day 98, I got up a little early and had some quiet time downstairs, couple cups of coffee. Josh woke up, got into the bathroom on his own, and we got washed up/dressed. He's been fantastic - I had left my coffee cup on the end table and he brought it to me in the kitchen to wash, he ate like a pig (2 pieces toast with PBJ and an egg, and two cups of NV!), and he's very excited about a neighbor who will be doing some culvert work in front of our house and a friend who may come by for a visit later in the day - he keeps running to the door to see if our friend is here (don't even know for sure whether coming or not!). I've got to mow the lawn (finally!) and Josh is talking about taking the lawn mower for a walk - don't know if he'll be so gung ho on that once our neighbor comes with the bucket/digger! We'll see how the noise of the work is going to affect him. I'd take him out and about rather than staying home but don't know if/when our friend is coming over, and our neighbor might need my help in digging the culvert and laying the piping. Big job for our neighbor - very nice guy, postal worker, 11 grandchildren - all boys! He likes Josh a lot and Josh really likes him, mainly because he's a "mail guy" and he had a great dog, Kodiak (Kodie-Bear) (unfortunately, Kodie was put down the other day - very old for his breed and weight, was falling apart and not making it on stairs or outside, very sad, he was a great dog).

So, on with Day 98, whatever this day will hold! No school tomorrow (Labor Day) so Gramma and Boompah will be kidsitting as I need to get into the office for the day (so much for Labor Day for me!). Happy Labor Day to all!

Day 94 into Day 95

Mixed bag yesterday, although Emily's note was that, except for one sensory issue, Josh worked hard and had a really good day at school. The not so great - a girl was getting her lunch card and got really close into Josh's space - he pulled her hair (actually got some hair in his hand!). The girl was OK, and the note was the she doesn't understand too much anyhow. Emily said they didn't give Josh a time out or punishment because they all saw what happened and knew that it was a sensory response to her coming so close. I know she was at Josh's birthday party and she does like to come in close to everyone. But, I sent a note back saying how can we work on this with Josh. Is there a desensitization that we can work on, etc.? Josh also seems to be having a hard time around lunchtime - a couple of meltdowns then. Wonder if he's hungry, thirsty, tired, whatever? The rest of the day he works hard, participates (yeah!), works well with the staff and sometimes peers, gets praise, puts forth effort, etc. So, what is happening around lunchtime?...

The OT session yesterday was canceled because of the insurance snafu - sure hope the speech eval next Wed. isn't canceled as well. The OT is trying to work out the snafu, so hopefully it will be and Josh can continue with the therapies - working on that space issue with OT would be good.

Josh had a great day with buses again - right on, no overload at all in the a.m., and right off with no overload or anything coming home! Yeah!! We goofed around for a little bit and I was famished so we ate early and Josh fell asleep early - never a good thing since he was up early this a.m. (Day 95).

Can't wait for the weather to change - this humid rainy stuff is exhausting! So, into Day 95!

Day 93 into Day 94

Whoo Hoo!!!! Josh went in the pool at SEDOM!!!! And, he had a good time!!!! Emily was with him the whole time and the note (and an email from her) was that he really enjoyed being in the pool! YEAH!!!! He had to be prompted a couple of times and he did have sensory overload afterward when they finished in the pool and went on to the Home Living Center, though, but, hey, baby steps! And, the overload could have been in anticipation of the HLC - they sometimes use a mixer in there to make foods and the mixer always gets him (the noise). But YEAH! on the pool!

The staff have added a new phrase to the Josh-spectrum of behaviors - meltdown. They are defining it as somewhere between a sensory overload (when he just lays down and won't move - but not a PNES) and being a poop (sort of normal 12yo pain in the neck kind of thing) - he will bat at staff members during a meltdown (as if he is telling them to just leave him alone, I guess), and he had one of those yesterday. But, otherwise, he had a pretty good day.

Josh also did really well with the buses yesterday (except one coming from the HLC back to school). In the a.m., I went to put his backpack on the bus, turned around, and there he was just walking up to the bus - no overload, no PNES, just walking to the bus! He did have a very short overload once he sat down in his seat, but it lasted only about 30 seconds. Coming home, Bonnie (the driver) thought putting him in the second seat would work better than the front seat (there's a little metal triangular brace at the bottom of the divider between the seat and the stairs - she started thinking that piece makes it hard for him to come out of the seat -fear of tripping maybe). Sure enough, he got out without any hesitation or problem. Smart woman.

We had a visitor yesterday also - the "facilitator" from the Mental Health Board came to do paperwork and meet us for the wraparound services. He participated for about 45 minutes and then, when we actually had to do paperwork, he went to watch a movie (and fell asleep!). During the meeting, he held her hand several times - a sign he likes her and trusts her (Yeah!). She's very nice, a former special ed teacher who also has a now-grown-up kid who had special needs (LD, BD, ED). The wraparound services will be interesting (will write more on that some other day).

So, with a few exceptions, generally a really good day for Josh! Yeah!!

On into Day 94!
