by Lost and Tired

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.. :’(

Lizze and Elliott have begun the 24 hour EEG a little while ago.  The EEG almost didn’t happen.  If Gavin had been hospitalized last night,  especially in Youngstown, the EEG would have had to be rescheduled.

This afternoon,  Elliott began with a fever,  literally minutes before walking out the door.

After consulting with the neurology department at Akron Children’s Hospital,  it was decided More >

This post is not intended to start an argument but instead bring us all together so help solve a serious problem.  Parents shouldn’t be judged for either vaccinating or choosing not to vaccinate.  Instead of fighting,  perhaps we could work together to find solutions to these vaccine related concerns.

The truth is that some kids are seriously injured by vaccines.  However,  not vaccinating your More >

Autism, Vaccines and Immune Deficiency

First of all, let me go on the record as stating that I am NOT anti-vaccine…at all. However, something occurred to me this morning and has got me concerned. I’m concerned for a very specific reasons. Emmett and Elliott are both scheduled for vaccines on Thursday afternoon….well…they were scheduled for vaccines this Thursday but not now.

Today Emmett was due for 3 vaccines, MMR, Hep A and something else…can’t remember. While I’m pro-vaccines I still like to talk to the doctor about them before they are given go our boys. I was introduced to a family that had a child seriously injured by the MMR. It’s a real life situation and while I still don’t think vaccines are linked to Autism I do know that some kids are seriously injured. More >

We just arrived at NCMF with Elliott and Emmett for the respective appointments. We will be here a while and have bloodwork and vaccines to look forward to.  I have no idea how this is going to go. Gavin is with my mom and she is taking him to OT so he doesn’t miss his appointment.

Emmett has his 3 year appoint today with Dr. H. He’ll check all the usuals and let us know where he is at as far as weight and height. We will discuss vaccines and what he needs and doesn’t need. I’m not sure if he’s due for any or not but we always like to talk to Dr. H about any and all vaccines prior to blindly vaccinating any of our kids. We do our best to responsibly vaccinate our children. More >

Autism: We’re all on the same side….right?

The great “Autism debate” rages on and divide or rift inside the community was the inevitable result. Aren’t we all on the same side?

Since watching the movie Loving Lamppost: Living Autistic I’ve been thinking. Why all the “infighting” ? Aren’t we all on the same side? Don’t we all want the same thing?  I realize that in any debate there has to be two sides and Autism is no exception. We have More >

Loving Lampposts: Living Autistic

 

I have been hearing about Loving Lampposts: Living Autistic for a while now. This documentary, by director Todd Drezner, takes a look at the two sides of the Autism debate. When I was contacted by Cinema Libre Studio and asked to review it here at lostandtired.com I was really excited. As I’m not a movie critic or even that talented a writer I will approach More >
