Emmett is once again on the verge of a new fever flare.  The sores are already forming on his tongue and he is already miserable.  I hate these fever flares because Emmett is in so much pain and there is not much we can do to comfort him. If we're lucky,  we can provide him with a little bit of comfort when we can. This afternoon was one of those times where I was able to help him to find some peace.  I snuggled under the big comfy comforter on the couch with him for a little bit.  We didn't sleep for long but he dozed off for a few minutes and that's better than nothing. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help…

I grabbed this picture of the Burger King sign on my way to the farmers market.  I love signs that a flawed and thought this one was pretty funny. The sign reads: Original Chicken $104 Fri Sat Sun. Punctuation is very important when writing and even more so to the person reading. **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.

Elliott's latest and greatest Lego Creation is featured in the photo below. It's a turtle and he is very proud of it. There is something about Elliott and animals because he loves to build small animals out of Lego’s. **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.

Thanks everyone for all the thoughts and prayers.  We have dodged the brunt of the storm.  The kids are done freaking out and Emmett has given up on hunting "tomatoes". We still have some rough thunderstorms possibly hitting but nothing we can't easily survive.  :-) Thanks again.  :-) **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.

We are currently under a tornado warning and have been told to go to the basement.  We're trying to keep the boys calm and keeping everyone in the living room until we hear the sirens. I'm sitting out on the porch to keep an eye on things and listen for the siren warning of impending disaster. If you could keep the Lost and Tired family in your thoughts and prayers once again that would be greatly appreciated.  Also please keep everyone else who is in the path of these natural disasters in your thoughts and prayers as well.

I just finished up a radio interview.  I had to hide in the van with A/C on,  in order to have a quiet environment.  I could not believe how hot it was outside.  This is the first full summer that Web have had central air and I don't know how we would survive without it right now. My kids,  especially Gavin,  don't regulate their body temperature very well and so this kind of heat would be very dangerous for them.  How do your kids handle the hot weather and if they struggle,  is it sensory or regulatory related? Please stay safe and cool as much as possible.  Drink plenty of hydrating fluids like water or gatorade.  Avoid things like alcohol and pop/soda.  Hang in there.. **Thanks for reading**    …

I very distinctly remember sharing the news when Emmett was finally potty trained.  Diapers were an absolute nightmare for us.  He refused to wear anything but the Cookie Monster diapers and it was a huge,  huge expense for many years. Since being potty trained for about the last year or years and a half,  he's done really good.  I can't actually remember him having any accidents.  However,  for the last month or so,  Emmett has been afraid to go potty by himself. I have to stand in the bathroom so he's not alone. He's also "unable"  to put his underpants back on after he's done. It's more like unwilling to put his underpants back on.  I don't know what happened.  This seems to have come out of nowhere.  I feel…
