Elliott does not have pneumonia :-)

0

We had a last minute change of plans.  Lizze took Elliott to the pediatrician’s office this morning. 

As it turns out,  Elliott does not have pneumonia like his younger brother.  What Elliott does have is an extremely nasty sinus infection.  He begins antibiotics this afternoon. The doctor said that with infections this bad,  a second round of antibiotics will likely be needed.

Confessions of a special needs father: Overwhelmed, lost and tired

11

I have a confession to make.  I’m completely and utterly overwhelmed.  In the past three days we have several new challenges, Gavin and Elliott are both having seizures and Emmett has developed pneumonia.  Elliott will be seen today for possible pneumonia as well.

This has all happened in the past two or three days alone. 

If I had all the time in the world and all I had to do was physically More >

Another day, another trip to the doctors

0

Lizze and Emmett are on their way to the pediatrician’s office to get Emmett checked out. He isn’t getting any better and we think he may have strep throat now as well. Whatever he has, has spread to the other boys and that makes three special needs kids, all sick at one time, under the same roof, with a father about to lose his marbles.

Hopefully, he will be able to get some relief and More >

Today’s Victory: 03/22/2012

Today’s Victory is brought to you by amazing wife,  Lizze.  I meant to do this yesterday but for whatever reason it didn’t happen.

I want to share how proud of her I am and what better way to do that than with Today’s Victory.

As you all know,  Lizze has been struggling with health issues for many years,  including Fibromyalgia,  which is a chronic pain disorder. She is in constant pain,  all More >

Wednesday Night Fever

0

I’m sooooo friggin’ tired. Between Emmett and now Elliott,  sleep was had by none.  Elliott is running a fever this morning,  most likely courtesy of Mr.  Emmett John.

I’m pretty sure I saw it written somewhere that if you have special needs kids,  only one child can be sick at a time.

If that isn’t written somewhere,  it should be.

Time to join me and get Fit4Autism

0

I came up with the idea of “Fit4Autism“ last year. It’s kind of a play on word’s. However, it’s way more then that. As special needs parents we need to be able to take care of our children for as long as possible. The unfortunate truth is that many of us dedicate so much time and energy to our children that we fail to take care of ourselves.

Fit4Autism“ is a challenge I’ve issued to myself and More >

From my perspective: 03/21/2012

I thought I would share with you another moment from my perspective.  I think it’s cool to be able to show you a moment from my life,  through my eyes. 

This is what I saw this morning as I dropped my boys off at school.  For whatever reason,  when I see Elliott walking into the building,  he just seems so small.  This is one of those images that I carry with me all the time.

**Thanks for More >

Today’s Victory: 03/21/2012

Today’s Victory is brought to you by the newest member of the Lost and Tired family,  Bella.  Bella is Emmett’s boxer puppy and best friend. 

Emmett has been really sick for the past few days with fevers exceeding 104°F on several occasions. He has coupe right now but we are suspecting strep because his throat is really sore. There have been many times,  like this morning,  when he was simply More >

How I got a PlayStation Vita

This is more for the techies out there that like video games. 

I have been playing video games since before Nintendo was even know the radar. I was always fascinated by them. 

Fast forward to present day and my kids have all followed in my footsteps. I’m sure you have heard me talk about Elliott and his 3DS -thanks to Best Buy- as well as Gavin obsession with video games.

I have had a game More >
