I feel really bad that I've been getting on him for months about clearing his throat. It turns out that I was sorta right, he has no real reason to clear his throat. There's nothing wrong with his throat. He has a "nervous tic" and since it's already been around for 3 months and is getting worse...odds are it will be around for a year and then he will be diagnosed with Tourette's. When that happens they can start treating it. Until then they can't do much besides recommend counseling.
My wife is heart broken about it all. We almost lost this kid at birth and has always been a little different than most kids. He's also deaf in one ear, but you really wouldn't notice.
On top of all this my wife got a phone call from some lawyers today about something very tragic she seen some years back. So she is not doing well today...to the point that I left work a couple of hours ago to come home and support her. She's sleeping now and I had to vent. I'm crushed to see her like this... It isn't very often that a beer doesn't even sound good. Today is one of those days.
We haven't said anything to anyone yet about either issue, you guys are the first to know. So if you see something in FB the next couple of days, please don't say anything yet.
On top of all this, we have company coming this weekend from out of state. I hope my wife can try and enjoy herself.
