The day that never ends

It’s been one of those crazy days that I’m not wanting to repeat anytime soon.
I was literally running around doing errands for most of the day.
By the end of the day I had pulled the seats out of the van, picked up 3 new mattresses, hauled them upstairs and set them up. Next I had to put the seats back in the van and picked up the boys from school.
I had to also hit the grocery store, the post office and fill the water jugs.
Then it was time to make dinner and feed the boys. After dinner, Lizze and I got the boys ready for bed.
Now I’m just trying to relax and catch my breath. I wanted to write a bit tonight as I have ever not been keeping up on the blog as of late.

Please say a prayer for Elliott
41 week ago
I hardly remember yesterday or maybe I’m just trying to forget it. Either way, something happened yesterday that may amount to nothing, but the school was worried enough try and have us come get him -although their attempts were in vain because Verizon must be having network problems and our phones never rang-.
Elliott has been complaining about his joints alot lately. He has an appointment with the rheumatologist in a few weeks.
Yesterday, he started complaints about his back during martial arts. When they looked at his back, there was a knot on his spine. This seemingly came out of nowhere.
Elliott says that he doesn’t know what happened but he never hurt himself.
Lizze currently has Elliott at the doctor’s to make sure everything is OK. They are going to take x-rays to get a better idea of what happened.
Elliott is really nervous and could use all the thoughts and prayers you can muster.
This may amount to nothing but because of where it is and how much it hurts, we have to be sure.

You know what they say about people who assume

Last night as I putting Elliott in bed, he told me that he doesn’t have school today.
I said, of course you have school on Monday, why wouldn’t you? He was very insistent that he didn’t have school. I told him, if it would make him feel better, we could call the school in the morning and find out.
Morning came and I told him to get ready for school. He went and woke Gavin up. Gavin came into my room and told me that they don’t have school.
Hearing this from Gavin is a different story. I had assumed that Elliott had confused the holidays or something. However, having Gavin back him up changed things.
Gavin is rarely ever wrong when it comes to remembering dates and times ect.
As it turns out, Elliott was right.
Today they had off because the school was preparing report cards.
I guess that shows me. I should always assume I’m right when my views or opinions differ from the boys.
Typically, I like to mentally prepare for these days off. The short notice has thrown me off a bit, however, it does slow the day down a bit and I can live with that.

Investigating Gavin’s mysterious illness

We are at the pediatrician today to try and get a grip on what’s going on. I’ve mentioned previously that we recently found out that Gavin is getting sick every day at school and is falling asleep on a daily basis, even after he has 12+ hours of sleep the night before.
We are also going to have his. hearing tested because he always says that he can’t hear us when we call for him so we’re going to put that to rest.
In the unlikely event that Gavin does have problems hearing than we can get that addressed.
My Mom has joined us this afternoon so she can spend some time with Gavin on his birthday.
After the appointment, Gavin will get his blood work done and then maybe go out to lunch. He has a birthday card from Bob Evans that entitles him to a free lunch.

I screwed up
33 weeks ago
I’m here to tell you that I’m far from perfect as I make mistakes quite often.
This morning, I was smacked in the face with another mistake I made. Gavin is out of refills on his Lithium and I was just at Dr. Reynolds office a few days ago.
Dr. Reynolds even made it a point to ask me if I needed any refills for Gavin. I thought we had refills left on the Lithium but I was very wrong.
This is day 2 with Gavin off his mood stabilizers. Thankfully, we can get them called in on Monday and at least Gavin in doesn’t have school tomorrow.
I’m not sure if a few days off his meds will throw him off course or not but fact that I even have to ask that questions frustrates me.
Let this be a lesson to one and all. Make sure to check out the refill status prior to going to an appointment. You don’t want to be in a situation where your child doesn’t have his much needed medication because of a simple oversight.

Picking up the boys

A rather extreme change in weather since this time yesterday. This the view for Emmett and I as we wait for the boys to emerge from the school at 3pm…
Luckily, the roads aren’t very bad. The temperature sure has fallen. It was in the 40′s this time yesterday and now we’re in the low 20′s. Brrrrrrr
