I feel like we've come full circle with Emmett in many ways.  However, the most prominent is his return to extreme levels of perfection. Everything in Emmett's life must be perfect. If it's not he screams. Throughout each and every day, I'm constantly having to address this with him.  I try to reassure him that everything is okay and attempt to help him work through it.  Unfortunately, there is literally nothing that we have found that helps.  Anymore, much of the day is spent tripping over words, trying not to say the wrong thing and set him off. We've tried sensory processing things like, massage or joint manipulation.  I can't begin to explain how overwhelmingly frustrating this is, for all involved. Emmett's miserable and the constant screaming is unbearable, especially…

Emmett woke up this morning in the worst mood possible. I don't know what the heck is going on with him. All I can say is thank God there's school today.

Lizze just received a call about her Grandfather.  We need to say our goodbyes as soon as possible.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.  Please keep Lizze and her family in them as well, especially Lizze's dad. 

Elliott will be seen in immunology today.  We need to make sure that he hasn't developed an allergy since he was tested last year. This will likely be a really fun appointment.  However, it's a necessary evil at this point.  Fingers crossed that everything is okay. :-)
