View full postGavin is driving me absolutely crazy. He will not stop talking and is doing everything in super fast mode. He doesn’t appear all there today. I’m trying to be as patient as possible but it’s not easy and I’m forced to attempt to block him out, so as to keep me from going over the …
View full postElliott’s been medicated for over 10 hours now and it’s safe to say that the medication has worn off. He’s bouncing off the walls again and definitely not as calm as he’s been for most of the day, prior to now. Lizze was saying that he may need a maintenance dose at some point during …
View full postIt’s no secret that Mr. Emmett John is a handful.. He is beyond challenging for Lizze and I, and even his brothers. However, there are moments of absolute peace that occur, on occasion. This afternoon was one of those moments. Emmett returned home after spending the night at Grandma’s house the other night. He was …

View full postI made the mistake of mentioning to Elliott on Thursday night, that he was having a hearing test, Friday after school. I was thinking…..well to be honest, I don’t know what I was thinking. Elliott is our most typical child. While he has Aspergers, most people wouldn’t notice anything. Having said that, Elliott is not …

There have been a few questions about this whole challenge thing. Let me clarify a few things. This is not a water only diet. I eat whatever I would normally I just only drink water. This isn’t some crazy diet. It’s about making small changes and improving ones health. No more no less. That said, …
View full postAs of Monday we were finally approved for a van at Mullinex Ford in North Canton. My sales guy confirmed the approval Monday afternoon and said I could sign the papers and pick up the car today. I called this morning and I get “didn’t someone call you ?”. I said no I haven’t had …

It’s been awhile since I really spent any amount of time talking about my battle with depression. As some of you already know, I’m battling depression. This has been a war of both wins and losses, progress and setbacks. However, I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m depressed and on medication for it. There is …

At this moment, I’m hiding in my bedroom pretending for a few minutes that I have the luxury of quiting. Quiting everything and just running away.. Of course, I don’t have that luxury and even as I sit here, trying to be invisible, it’s clear as day that I can’t run away from anything, even …

We’ve all heard, third times a charm before. For us today it’s the second times a charm. About 15 minutes into our 1st attempt, I got sick. Lizze couldn’t drive so I had to turn around and go home. After resting a little while, I felt better and was able to attempt a second run. …

Update: Since the writing of this post, I’ve learned that kids with allergies will be offered an alternative lunch. Having said that, while the effort is a nice one, it’s still not a good idea because of cross contamination. On Thursday of this week, the Akron Aeros baseball team, based in Akron Ohio, is doing …

The boys are getting to school a bit late this morning in because Gavin had to finish the heart monitoring before we left. It didn’t make sense to take Elliott to school and then take Gavin, 30 minutes later. After dropping them off, we will be making our way to Akron Children’s Hospital to drop …

I’ve been talking about autonomic dysfunction for the last year now. I want to give a very basic example of what someone with autonomic dysfunction can experience. This is about as basic as it gets and hopefully this will help, at least some people to better understand autonomic dysfunction. If you look at this picture, …

Gavin had his first tantrum since returning home, this morning. Lizze and I had just walked into my parents house to pick up the boys (I suppose it should preface this with, my Mom was watching Emmett and Gavin while we ran to the store). We were in the house for only a few minutes …
