So Nicolas is 8 now.  Yesterday, he was outside (nice weather in Illinois) and he called me and said he can't get up.  I usually help him up, but he said that he can't get up by himself anymore.  Feels like this has happened overnight.  I am so exhausted because I stayed up crying about this last night.  I'm not ready for this at all!!!  Again last night when in the house he needed me to help him…
