I need to check on his temperature every day and I need to check his whole body because most of the time they were not aware of what&#8217;s happening in their body. Sometimes, I see some bruises on his legs and arms because on how the way he moves. Sometimes he plays without thinking the danger, so I need to be watchful.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not really easy dealing with special kids but since I know my Gareth so well, then it is quite easy for me but still challenging sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We arrived home around 1am, then brought Gareth to ER.
