My five year old is obsessed with Halloween. It’s all he talks about all year long. This is us boating in the summer time. He loves putting on scary masks and walking around the hood. I often wonder what the neighbours think 🤣 #halloween

I just spent two hours staring at Liam’s Sami monitor. Too many #dravet kids that I have held in my arms over the years have passed away recently in their sleep. It scares the shit out of me. It’s so hard to sleep at night, wondering…. #dravetlife #sudep #dravetsyndrome

Just stared at the Sami monitor for an hour.
Once again an LP has discontinued Liam’s oil with no foresight on the impacts. He has enough oil to get him through the weekend, with no plan and no viable options. We have been at this 10 years and basic decency still lacks in this industry. There is something wrong here 😢

When a pharmaceutical drug that Liam depends on is in shortage that will impact his treatment, his pharmacist notifies us immediately and we come up with a plan and a solution to minimize the effects it could potentially cause.

Liam has been seizing for a week now. The season changes especially the dramatic temperature changes in the Fall are always hard for him. If you can donate please do, we really need a cure for my guy and all the other children living with #dravet 💜 raceroster.com/events/2022/6…

Congratulations to our amazing Ava and her incredible graduating class 🎓
Finally, a return to a much-loved tradition: GRAD BREAKFAST! This morning at 7:20am grads showed up to a line of teachers clapping them in and congratulating them on their hard work. #Congratulations

Enjoyed a lovely dinner in Carp tonight, an important @carpfair fundraiser. Thank you to the Fair's volunteer directors & the many others who helped keep the lights on during the pandemic. The Fair's Ladies Night next week is already proving to be a major draw. #Ward5Ott

School ‘Team Liam’ Xmas Drop-off. It’s so hard to believe that this will be Liam’s last Christmas at St. Mike’s. He is so loved, safe and cared for there, it’s hard to imagine him being anywhere else. #imnotcrying #finalxmasatstmikes #tenyears #dravetsyndrome #nextup #highschool
