We got back from the Vet's office and Bella is all patched up. She was all swollen and inflamed.  The doctor said that 99% of the time this doesn't happen but because of her extremely high energy level, she not healing well.  The sedatives aren't working and because she's so active there is a lot of seepage, to much information?  I know,  sorry. Anyway,  he said that she's primed for infection so she got an injection of antibiotics and a sedative.  She's also on take home antibiotics as well. She goes back on Thursday for evaluation and hopefully,  removal of the stitches. She going to spend most of time in the cone of shame,  but it's for her own good.  :-( **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired…

I spoke with the Vet's office this morning and Bella needs to be seen once again.  She'll be there at 09:30 am this morning.  Hopefully,  this appointment will not cost anything and everything will check out okay.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Lizze is not doing so well.  I don't think that there is a scale to measure the amount of stress she is trying to cope with.  She's dealing with the same migraine she's had now for 7+ months. She extremely torn up over Gavin behavior towards her,  including the fact that most of the time,  he acts as though she doesn't exist. When he does engage with her,  he's rude,  disrespectful and just plain mean/hurtful. She's still waiting on the results of her MRI.  She's been having a great deal of back pain. Her doctors suspect a herniation or something called spinal stenosis. She won't get the results until her next appointment, which is sometime next week. As her husband,  it breaks my heart to know she's going through this…

Over the past few months,  I've let a few things slide.  Namely,  my health.  I've been so wrapped up in everyone else that I have not been taking care of myself.  However,  beginning today,  I'm rededicating myself to improving my personal health.  I will do this not only for myself,  but my wife and kids as well. Anyone out there care to join me? We can trade fitness tips, healthy lifestyle changes etc.  We could all motivate each other and be a sort of accountability for each other.  Whacha think? **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Emmett behaved very well today and because of that he earned some extra time with Lego Batman 2 on Daddy's computer. Despite all the chaos from today,  Emmett kept on making really good choices,  especially for 4 year old little boy. Great job Emmett :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Bella has popped 2 more stitches and there appears to be some infection.  Thankfully, everything seems to be healed enough that there's no gaping, open wound. I had to rebandge her again and she will be wearing the cone of shame again as well.  I'm not sure when she got into the stitches but most likely while we were sleeping.  We haven't left her alone since her surgery. Hopefully,  everything will check out okay in the morning and she won't need restitched. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

OMG..... The kids are not listening. That's not entirely true,  Emmett is listening,  for the most part. Elliott and Gavin are not vibing today and that's causing some challenges.  Gavin will say something to Elliott,  which upsets him.  Elliott comes to us and tells us what Gavin said.  Gavin denies everything and says that "Elliott misheard him".  That's pretty much history goto answer anymore.  Everyone always "mishears" him.  This whole thing sets into motion a string of events that continuously feeds off of itself. The whining,  yelling, fighting, bickering and constant denial of responsibility makes life unpleasant.  Lizze is not having a very pain free day.  She's in the middle of a nasty flare up,  thanks to the recent weather. Is there an end to this in sight?  Yes there…
