If you follow our blog I am sure that you know Beka suffers from a disease called Endometriosis (http://endometriosis.org). It is a horrible auto immune and pain decease that leaves her with many bad days. What is her hope and solid rock? Her partners in life, Michael and Emery Oakley.
They are always the ones to wash dishes while she is sick, and make her tea when she needs some semblance of comfort. Emery has been sick about twice in his short life, and Michael gets sick once a year (and Beka has many years of experince to make this conclusion). The men are always the ones to take care of poor Beka.
So when Beka came home from work early one day, and found Emery asleep (nap time) and Michael in bed, she knew something was up. All Michael could get out was, "migraine, so bad....". Michael is NEVER sick. Beka was shocked to find him out of commission. She brought him some pills and water, and left him to sleep off the pain.
Emery, when he woke up, had a different mode of recovery for his sweet father. He kept asking where Daddy was, and knowing that the pills had surely kicked in, Beka let Emery find his Daddy in bed. Emery was quite concerned about his sweet father, but more excited to play with him in the big bed. He def did not respect the healing process. And so this happened:
Luckily Michael was feeling 100% before the love wrath of Emery came to surround him. Emery was so concerned, and SO EXCITED! He loves his daddy very much, if you could not tell.
Michael was up and happening within minuets of Emery's rude awakening. Thank God for modern medicine. We feel deeply for those with chronic pain conditions, especially migraines. They are awful! Unfortunately Michael got a small taste of this. Fortunately, Michael has a tiny one to help him out of it :) A tiny one with really cute, chubby cheeks.
Beka later gave Michael a taste of his favorite dinner to make up for his awful morning; Eggplant parm! But it was vegan, so Beka and Emery ate with Michael in glorious feast.
The day ended scrumptiously, but started pretty rough. We are so glad we three are headache free!
We hope you all are feeling well too!
Love
Team Oakley
