I wanted to take a minute and update you all on how Gavin is doing,  health wise. Since tightly controlling his fluid intake and starting his new meds,  Gavin seems to be a bit more stable. I'm very,  very cautiously optimistic because these things have a tendency to sorta pop up unexpectedly.  There's no way to know for sure if things are actually better of if he simply isn't having any issues at the moment. It should be noted that his heart rate is still to high. With that said, he hasn't been nauseous since Thursday and hasn't experienced chest pain since then either. He also didn't have any tantrums yesterday.  Perhaps that's why he felt so well.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S…

On Monday,  Lizze and I will be celebrating our 9 th anniversary. We've been together for 11 years and married for 9. I think that's pretty amazing.  Especially considering all of the stress and strain we both feel all the time.  We probably won't do anything and we never really get to.  However,  that won't make the day any less important.  Nine years.  It's really hard to believe it's been that long.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Elliott created a really cool Lego creation and he wanted to share it with you.  In hind sight, I should have taken a better picture of it so you can see just how creative it is.  Anyway,  this is a chipmunk and the little thing next to it is an acorn. The picture doesn't do it justice and I'm sorry for that.  I'm totally proud of him and I love the way his beautiful mind works.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Friday was a pretty good day for Gavin.  He made really good choices and reaped the benefits of that by getting to stay up late and watch a movie.  I would really like to see this be a continuing trend going good into the weekend.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

I really don't need to ask this but,  how many of your little ones love to play Angry Birds? Just about everyone has their hands up.  :-) My boys love Angry Birds.  They love the plushies,  the video games and now the board game. Alright,  it's not really a board game but it's definitely not a video game either. This game came with actual parts,  angry birds,  naughty piggies and all the pieces to create your own levels.  Then you get to actually fling your angry birds from the included sling shot/catapult thing and take the pigs out.  Elliott came home with this from the Hamptons but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. This is a really cool way to experience the game.  It also helps with fine motor…

Elliott is extremely anxious.  I know that there a many factors at work here but we need to really push to get him back on something for anxiety. With school starting in a few days,  I'm not sure how well he will be able to cope.  Having said that,  school may just be what he needs to help him feel a bit more secure.  Perhaps the routine and time away from Gavin and Emmett will give him the break he needs.  He did fantastic while he was in the Hamptons and typically does better when he's away from Gavin. I hate even saying that but the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. There is a consistent improvement in Elliott's overall demeanor and relationship with Emmett,  when Gavin's not…
