Do you ever feel that you can't win? Like, no matter what you do or how hard you try, you're gonna lose? I'm having one of those days today.  I've been battling with the bank because they allowed a $1,200 check go thru when there was only $2.43 available. This is really bad but there's not much I can do now, so freaking out, isn't going to help. I'm trying to do this whole Operation Hope thing, as well as keep Gavin's health stable. Gavin moving home has stirred things up, even though he's doing well right now. Lizze didn't sleep at all last night and is in a great deal of pain today.  Although, to her credit, she pushing through it.  Christmas is less than a week away and…

Today is Gavin's first day back. So far so good.  We actually have all three boys home today because the school is going on a field trip to the roller rink. Because of how poorly Gavin's body coped with the martial arts promotion, roller skating had to be out of the question. It sucks but it's just not worth the risk right now. Elliott didn't want to go roller skating so we kept him home as well.  Lizze and I kinda had to laugh because one would think that roller skating would be very difficult for kids who tend to struggle with coordination already. That's the case with my boys anyways. Elliott did push through his fear yesterday and went through with martial arts promotion and even broke a board…

Gavin had bloodwork done about an hour or so ago. At this point, he seems to have stabilized enough to be sent home. We'll know more when the blood work comes back.  Thus far, things have been interesting.  Gavin was in full on drama queen mode. He was screaming and crying for no reason, other than trying to get the attention of the pretty nurses.  Very frustrating on our end because his behavior made things more difficult on everyone.  I missed Elliott's promotion and Gavin's acting like a drama queen.  This has nothing to do with aspergers, autism or overstimulation.. It's all about getting attention and cresting a scene.  That would be the reactive attachment disorder.  I realize that none of this is his fault per say. However he is…

We have actually been for awhile now and are still waiting to go back.  It appears that they are pretty busy at the moment.  We have to wait for a room with a monitor. Gavin's slowly become more stable as time goes on.  Hopefully we'll get back there and we can figure out what's going on.  We had to miss Elliott's promotion. I saw him as he was going do to the dojo and I let him know that we were going to have to be with Gavin at the hospital and he was really disappointed.  He didn't want to be doing the promotion in the first place, so this really sucks.  Thankfully my parents are there with Emmett to cheer him on and take pictures. I friggin hate this.
