Headache Infusion: conclusions

Lizze had her final headache infusion session, yesterday afternoon. She basically underwent 12 hours of pretty hardcore narcotics being pumped into her via IV.
This was split up over two days and the sole purpose was to break her five weeks old migraine.
She can only have this done one time a year, at least as far as I know. It was almost exactly a year ago that she had this done to break a More >

This has been the day from hell. Thankfully, Elliott is feeling better but he and Emmett have been at each others throats all goddamn day.
I swear they are setting out to drive Lizze and I crazy. A large portion of the problem resides with Emmett. He has been in a really weird place for the last few days. He’s not getting along with anyone right now.
There has been more screaming today than More >

Elliott has his 6 year check up today and I believe that he needs his boosters and also some routine bloodwork. He is going to completely lose it if that happens. His anxiety is already high enough as it is.
Plus to make things more interesting, Gavin has to have his bloodwork done this afternoon as well.
Lord have mercy… This is going to be one of those days that I wish I had slept through. More >

Sometimes the stars align and we have a victory. Today was one such day. I introduced you all to Bella, the newest member of the Lost and Tired family. I talked about how she seems to be helping Emmett with a few of his challenges.
I know this may not be the case for everyone out there but animals and Autism have been a good combination, at least for my kids.
We had a major breakthrough this More >
#Autism and Anxiety: Interfering with life

Elliott is so extremely anxious that he is literally an emotional ticking time bomb. He hates school now because, well honestly, I don’t know why. We literally have to carry him, kicking and screaming to the car.
There isn’t anything going on at school that would explain this. I think he literally counts the minutes until he comes home.
I hate that life has become so challenging for him. I More >

In about 2 hours the appointments for the day begin.
Lizze will get things started for us this morning. Shortly after that, Emmett will get his turn with OT and Speech this afternoon.
Tonight Emmett has therapy with Dr. Pattie.
Thankfully, that should be it for the day. Tomorrow will bring with it a return to Akron Children’s Hospital, only this time it will be Elliott’s turn at the More >

Today has been one of those days. You know, the kind that just seems to go wrong at every turn.
The day began with Elliott having going nuts as a result of his new medication. When I say going nuts, I mean going nuts.
He was rapid cycling. His mood was literally changing by the minute. One moment he was happy, the next he was angry and freaking out. Then he would be just start crying. More >
