Confession of a special needs father: 04/08/2012

I haven’t had a confessions post in quite awhile, so this is a bit overdue. For those of you new to my blog, I really try to be as honest as possible, even if it’s not very pretty or makes me look bad.
I really believe that by being honest, I can help someone out that that maybe feels isolated or alone in the way they feel about something.
I also try to remove the stigma attached to More >

As the holidays roll around, it may go without saying that difficult decisions will need to be made. As special needs parents, we have to weigh the desire to visit family and friends against doing what’s best for our kids.
For the Lost and Tired family, that decision is never an easy one. With 3 boys on the #Autism spectrum, we have to consider what’s best for them over our personal desire to More >

This is totally off topic but it’s my blog and do what I want.
I thought it would be fun to show you a picture and have you guess what happened. It’s a change of pace and we could probably all use it. So, take a good long look at the picture below and tell me what you think happened. Just leave a comment with your guess and I’ll let you know if you guessed right.

A restless night that ended with…
21 month ago
Last night was really, really weird. Some how, I ended up on the couch. I think it was to hot on the second floor and I was uncomfortable. For me, I sleep better when it’s colder in the room.
Anyway, Lizze woke me up when she got up this morning and told me to go upstairs because Elliott wasn’t feeling well and needed me.
I snuggled Elliott in our bed for a few minutes before he sat up and More >
Do you ever just feel burned out?

Maybe this is a dumb question but do you folks ever just feel so burned out from everything that you can’t imagine doing this much longer?
I feel like that at times and I think it’s pretty normal to feel that way.
The problem is that once I get to a certain point, it’s really hard to keep motivating myself to go on. It’s like the moment I lose my footing or drop the ball, everything just More >
#Autism, Seizures and EEG’S: Elliott explained
01 month ago
by Lost and Tired
in Autism
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 >
#Autism, Seizures and EEG’S: When it’s not seizures

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.
What I don’t know is More >
#Autism, Seizures and EEG’S: The morning after

by Lost and Tired

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 >
