Today she Victory: 04/06/2012

Today’s Victory is brought to you by Mr. Elliott Richard. When your a special needs parent and your kids frequent the hospital, one of the best feelings in the world is having them come home and tucking them into their own bed.
I was fortunate enough to be able to do that tonight. I have my sweet Elliott Richard back home tonight and I’m so thankful that he’s not having seizures.

#Autism: The escape artist

In the entirety of time that I have been a special needs parent, I have never really had to worry about my kids sneaking out or wandering off. We have been very fortunate in that area because many families have that to contend with as well.
Gavin was the only one to ever get out of the house and wander off. That happened one time but he wasn’t seeking out for the sake of sneaking out.

#Autism, Seizures and EEG’s: My Elliott is home
21 month ago
Elliott and Lizze have returned from their overnight stay at Akron Children’s Hospital last night.
Lizze and Emmett are napping and Elliott and I are catching up. Actually, Elliott’s in the bath tub getting all the gel out of his hair. It pretty greasy and sorta nasty-ish. He wanted it out, so that’s what we are doing.
He’s playing in the tub and Bella keeps sneaking licks of water when More >
The Lighter Side of #Autism: 04/06/2012

Emmett had a relaxing morning. He was very preoccupied with the fact that we had no PopTarts left. However, it was a pretty quiet for the most part.
He even laid out on the floor and colored for a little while, which he never does.
This is definitely The Lighter Side of #Autism. I hope you all have at least the occasional moment of peace and relative tranquility. I know things are rough at More >

Alright, we have received clarification as to what the heck is on with Elliott. Elliott is experiencing some abnormal electrical activity, however, they are not seizures.
It was explained to us that kids on the #Autism spectrum are at a higher risk for seizures activity anyway. However, in Elliott’s case, the abnormalities are not producing actual seizures. They also said that he may More >

In some incredible, bizarre twist of fate, the doctor met with Lizze just a few minutes ago and told her that it turns out Elliott is not, I repeat, NOT having seizures…At least not during this test.
He explained that what was happening was not seizures but instead Elliott’s body expending excess energy. That’s what is likely causing the shaking and tremors as well.

#Autism, Seizures and EEG’S: The morning after

I spoke with Lizze this morning. Elliott has been having periods of shaking again but they aren’t sure if they are seizures or tremors.
He’s in good spirits but ready to come home when this is all over.
He’s had at least 3 seizures since the test began, so something is definitely going on. Something has to be figured out for the tremors as well of they turn out not to be seizure related. More >

At this very moment, I’m staring at my breakfast. I’m working really hard to get and stay healthy. I started by adjusting my diet. I’m eating a ton of fruit and working on the veggies.
This morning I’m having a fruit salad for breakfast. It included the following:
Pineapple Green Apple x1 Banana x1 Strawberry x3 Yogurt x .5 cups Kashi Granola x .5 cups
1 glass of chocolate soy milk
This is More >
#Autism, Seizures and EEG’S: They come in 3′s
01 month ago
The last time I spoke with Lizze, Elliott had already experienced 3 seizures. That was about 9pm last night. I’m laying next to Emmett, who’s having his own problems and feeling completely helpless. I realize its totally irrational but I can’t do anything to help them.
I hate feeling helpless or powerless to take away what ails them. I wish I could do and be more to them.. :’(
