Over that past few days,  Emmett has had some really great moments.  Grocery shopping was fun, drawing with sidewalk chalk and walking the dogs was fun as well.  However,  the time outside of these moments has been spent screaming. Lizze and I can't figure out what's wrong. He doesn't have any mouth sores at the moment and it isn't directly tied to one of the other boys pushing his buttons. Emmett screams while the boys are home and at school. When Emmett was younger, we used to say this was an Autistic day.  By that we meant that he would display more #Autism related symptoms on said day, when compared to another. I wish I knew what the hell was going on because the screaming gets old really, really fast. …

I thought I would lighten the mood a little. So I wanted to see if you could guess what this picture is.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Mr.  Emmett John, aka Spiderman,  aka Captain Independent was a really big help at the grocery store yesterday.  Emmett is by far the most profoundly affected by #Autism, so I try to spend some extra time working with him on life skills that promote independence and self esteem.  At the grocery store,  he helped by pushing the cart and loading items into the cart.  He was occasionally distracted by the items that needed to be lined up on the store shelves.  He would stop and fix something he felt to to messy.  It was really cute.  The only other oddity was that, if left to his own devices, be would have bought two of everything.  I don't know why that is but Elliott does the very same thing.  Neither one …

Lizze's parents are taking Gavin for the night. I know how this sounds to those unfamiliar with RAD, but I can't wait. There is so much stress in the house while he's home.  It's not like it's stress free when he's gone but it's just different. I don't know how else to explain it.  We all need a break, especially Lizze. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

While Lizze, myself and Emmett were at the grocery store this morning, she received a phone call from her neurologist that she hadn't expected and wasn't prepared for.  Lizze has been having newer symptoms over the past few months.  She smells cigar smoke along with her migraine. This some type of phenomenon and not something that anyone else can smell.  She is also going through periods where her to guess goes numb.  Her doctor is suspecting that she may be having seizures and as these are apparently something that can happen with seizures activity. They have scheduled her for an EEG as well as changed her pain medication.  She pretty much in a state of shock this was not something she has ever given thought to.  However, Gavin has seizures…

I was spending some time with Mr. Emmett John this morning.  He choose to play with sidewalk chalk outside.  We colored pictures on the front walk for a little while before coming into the house for a snack.  I hope that I get many more opportunities like this to spend with my youngest minion.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.
