Gavin was hallucinating most of the night again. He real tired this morning so he’s going to be fun today. Elliott was to hot last night. I was 80F yesterday and we can’t open our windows for safety reasons. Emmett spiked fever last night as well. He was restless all night. Lizze is in so …

This auction directly helps my family Hello everyone. I’ve been largely absent today because I have had a few things come up that I had to address right away. Basically, we have had some expense come up that I simply cannot cover. However, I have a fix in the works that will hopefully help. As you all …
View full postWe met with Dr. H, our kids pediatrician about Gavin’s sudden rash. His best guess is they are bug bites. They aren’t hives or chicken pox either. He thinks Gavin just had a delayed reaction to the bug bites He also said that the ring around them isn’t uncommon. We have sine cream to put …
View full postToday Gavin wanted to share his newest custom Lego Creation. This is some type of ship and he’s really proud of it. He’s practicing right now so he can enter a Lego design contest. If he wins, he gets a trip for 4 to Lego Land in Florida. He’s really focused on this and has …
View full postWe had an incident that occurred yesterday between Emmett and Gavin that not only has us concerned but also creeped out. This is actually a bit uncomfortable to talk about but in the interest of honesty and me not losing my mind, I’m going to just put this out there. First of all, I wasn’t …

I don’t know that I have ever actually discussed this. I had a parent contact me and ask about the GFCF diet. Basically, their child has been on it for a year and they haven’t seen any improvement. They asked for my opinion, which I shared. Personally, I don’t buy into the whole diet thing. …
View full postI thought I would update you on Elliott experience with Risperdal thus far. Yesterday evening, we began to notice Elliott becoming very um…..hyper. I was at an appointment last night and Lizze was saying that Elliott was bouncing off the walls….literally. He would literally, run into the wall. Now Risperdal isn’t an antidepressant, so I’m …
View full postLizze and I will have most of the day to ourselves. Lizze’s mom is going to be picking up the boys momentarily and spending the day with them. They’ll get to hang out with Gavin while they’re there. I have no idea what we are going to do today. Lizze and I want to get …
View full postWould anyone be concerned about this. Look at Gavin’s ankle, does this look wrong to you? Lizze pointed out today that it almost looks like he has 4 ankles. He has large lumps on his foot ankle. This is the same on both feet. We had him looked at before but we are always told …

Guess who ate grilled cheese last night. That’s right, Elliott Richard. It sorta came out of nowhere. Lizze had started to make a grilled cheese sandwich. She put it into the toaster oven and then forgot to turn it on. About a half hour later I discovered the ungrilled grilled cheese and pushed the start …

Today was one of those days where life got the better of me. When this happens, I essentially have my own little meltdown of sorts. It’s nothing like a real meltdown but basically, everything around me becomes too much for me to cope with. When this happens, I’m not the easiest person to live with. …

So I’m running around today trying to get a bunch of things done. Lizze just woke up and so I have a few minutes to myself. I have been working on a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup for most of the day. It may look like vomit now and…..well…it does, but it will …

Update: Sorry about the multiple posts. I told you my phone wasn’t working right. I deleted the extra uploads that took place. I’m completely buried right now. Something I haven’t really been talking about much lately is how Lizze is doing. Typically, I don’t like to speak for her because she has her own blog …

While it’s a bit overdue, I wanted to share what happened when we met with Dr. Clark yesterday at Akron Children’s Hospital. Basically, our purpose is going was to find out if the fact that Gavin’s brain is improperly controlling his heart, has a negative impact on his heart itself. Does that make sense? We …

While we were at the doctors yesterday, Gavin kept making it a point to show everyone his prized Sonic the Hedgehog shirt. At points it was really awkward because he would just sorta blurt out random comments about his shirt. Everyone at the heart center indulged him and made him feel really good. I promised …

For the past few days, Elliott and Emmett have been waking up at about 4am and not going back to bed. This means that I also have to at least stay awake because we don’t want them wandering around the house. Do you guys experience this as well? This has only actually been happening since …
