Don’t mess with my kids!

While we were on the way home from picking Elliott up at school, we had an incident. We pulled up next to a school bus carrying kids from Elliott's school. Next thing I know Elliott's really upset because one of the kids on the bus took a wad of chewed up gum out of their mouth and pelted it at our van.  It hit near Elliott's window and got him really upset. We called the school and spoke with the office about the incident because if this kid were to do this to the wrong person, it could be trouble, especially where we live. The school asked for a discription of the child and this is where I was floored. Elliott provided a very, very detailed description of this kid…

I’m excited to find out how his day went

Lizze is visiting with her aunt and my Mom came and picked up Mr. Emmett John so I could sleep. I have to be up in about an hour or so because I have to go get Elliott from school. I'm excited to find out how his day went.  My hope is that he actually ate his lunch today.  This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile.

Packed lunch and needed prayers

Good morning everyone.  I hope your morning in going is going as well as can be expected.  On my end, things are going okay. I'm still sick and feeling really worn out. However, Elliott got off to school this morning without any problems. I packed his lunch for him and he's really excited to be making this change. I hope that this will encourage him to eat lunch. I would also like to ask a favor from all of you. Lizze will be visiting her aunt at some point today.  Her aunt has reached the end of a very long and bravely fought battle with cancer. Lizze is very, very close to her aunt and is taking this about as well as anyone could be expected to.  Please keep Lizze,…

Hopefully he’ll eat lunch tomorrow

Elliott hasn't been eating at school, I think I mentioned that before. Anyway, Elliott didn't eat lunch again today, so I've pulled the plug on school lunches for now.  The school has been great with trying to work with him but it's just not working for him.  He keeps saying that things don't taste right and so we won't eat it.  Dr.  Patti thinks this is about him grasping for control over his life. All we can do is support him right now.  I dragged my sick self out to Giant Eagle tonight in order to get Elliott some things for his lunch. Hopefully, he will have a better day and actually eat lunch.  This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by…

I’m not sure how today is going to go

I had the worst nights sleep.  I fell asleep just before midnight but woke up around 2am, hacking up a lung and haven't been back to bed yet. I'm not really sure how today is going to go or how much writing I'll get done.  This afternoon I have a very important phone call but aside from that, I'll probably sleep the rest of it away.

I ended up at Urgent Care tonight

I drove myself to Aultman North tonight.  Aultman North is basically a less than urgent ER.  Unfortunately, I'm getting sicker and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't getting too sick. While I feel like I'm going to die, I'm not actually going to.  That's a positive thing. :-) At the moment, I have a nasty,  burning cough but my lungs are clear.  The doctor said that this is most likely viral and that's all I was trying to find out.  I wanted to make sure that I didn't need to be on antibiotics and that whatever was wrong, hadn't moved into my chest. Most likely, the next week or so is going to be rough but I'll survive. On a side note, my blood pressure was a little…
