This mornings trials

This morning is kind of rough one. I can barely keep my eyes open and I have to watch Emmett while Lizze goes to physical therapy this morning..
Emmett seems to be feeling better but he’s um, rather grumpy and demanding.
All I can say is, I’m glad he’s feeling better.

I wanted to share another view of what I call, the lighter side of #Autism, Seizures at least as far as the Lost and Tired family is concerned.
We experience a lot of the drama, anxiety and complications that can come along with Autism. I feel that I share those experiences quite openly and honestly.
The truth of the matter is that even I can get caught up in all of the less than pleasant More >

While Lizze was at the pediatrician’s, and with Elliott and Emmett, Family I was home with Gavin.
Anyway, I was really not feeling well and half asleep on the couch.. Gavin was laying down watching TV. He decided that he needed lunch and I just couldn’t get More >
When the kids take care of the parents

As a special needs parent, I’m used to being the care taker. However, today I’m the one being cared for.
I had a glass of chocolate soy milk and it was almost gone. Emmett wanted to take care me, so he took my glass and refilled it for me.
Although when he brought it back to me, it was 90% water and 10% soy milk. Luckily, he didn’t make me drink it, but I would have if I had to It More >
Return to the Geneticist: Emmett’s Journey Begins

Today is big day for the Lost and Tired family. Emmett makes his return to the geneticist at Akron Children’s Hospital.
The goal of this appointment is try and identify exactly what is going on with him. The hope is that if we can genetically identify what is going on, than we will remove any questions as to what it is.
The more we know, the better and more effectively we can treat his pain More >

Lizze had both Elliott and Emmett to the pediatrician’s office this morning, with the help of her mother. As it turns out, they are both actually doing better.
It’s one of those get worse before it gets better kinda things. At least we know that we are headed in the right direction. That certainly makes me feel better.
I’m not sure if Elliott will be in school tomorrow but Emmett will be at More >
How do I know when my Aspie is sick?

Over the years, I have learned a few tricks that helped to be a better special needs parent. One of the most important things I have picked up on is the ability to read the subtle cues.
For example, I’m able to tell the difference between Elliott just not feeling well and actually being sick.
Elliott never takes a nap and I mean never. So at 3pm in the afternoon, when Elliott is passed out More >
Worse for ware

Today has brought with it even more challenge. I’m definitely sick and completely lacking in the energy and motivation department.
As much as I’m trying, there’s just nothing there.
Lizze is having to step up and take care of things that are really difficult for her to do in her condition. I’m both proud of her and heartbroken at the same time.
She’s in a great deal of pain and just pushing More >
