Stef Is The Chef can T3 get a jingle !? 😅👀
06/10/2026
Last night, my boy only asked to be turned or shifted about 4 or 5 times.
That might sound like a lot, but honestly, I was expecting much more on the first night. I kept my four alarms set for medication times and made sure I stayed on top of his pain management throughout the night.
Shout out to Amazon and their same-day delivery! I was able to order two different arm slings (because I wasn’t sure which one would fit him best) along with plenty of bandages, and everything arrived the very same day.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that the right wrap, pain medication, a cold Dr Pepper, and lots of blankets for extra comfort can make pain management so much easier.
Today started a little rough for our boy. T3 rolled off while he was asleep and I had to grab his “break box” and run out the door to where he was.
He hurt his leg and arm.
Hearing him ask, “Why me?” and cry because he couldn’t go to physical therapy or the gym to play basketball with his cousins never gets any easier.
Over the years, I’ve learned how to stay calm in moments like these. Assessing his pain, giving medicine, splinting injuries, and keeping him comfortable has become something I’ve had to learn. I’ve gotten pretty good at it, but it never gets easier. I’ve learned that if he’s panicking and I’m panicking, neither one of us is going to get through it very well. So I stay calm, reassure him, and focus on getting him comfortable.
The good news is that after some medicine, prayers, and listening to enough Yellow Beezy and Lil Hound Jeff to last me a lifetime 😂, he’s comfortable and back on the phone with his friends talking noise.
And before anybody asks, yes, he’s still eating. 😊 He had some pizza today, got his Gatorade in his Batman cup, and right now I’m just keeping him as comfortable as possible. He likes to be shifted a lot, after laying on one side too long, but overall he’s doing really good.
One thing I always remind T3 is that just because he gets hurt doesn’t mean life stops. It may take a few days to get his pain under control, but we’ll be back making memories soon enough.
I know some of y’all have noticed I’ve been posting older videos lately. That’s because T3 was off hanging out with his cousins and enjoying himself. Also, I don’t like posting him when he’s hurting, crying or not feeling his best.
When he smiling and say “mama you recording!?” Then, I’m on it. 😂
Anyways… I’m done rambling.
We love y’all and appreciate every prayer, message, and check-in. Please keep T3 lifted up.
A big dog never stays down for long. 💙🙏🏽
I made some spaghetti today.
I didn’t record T3’s reaction but he did hand me an empty bowl and I haven’t heard him say nothing in like 20 min.
He just laying down quiet. 😂
