Gavin's has been in rare form this weekend. I'm not sure what's going on with him but he is struggling just a bit.  I don't think it has anything to do with the EEG because he's actually really excited to go. I know that sounds weird but he's really stoked about the food.  He has a thing for hospital food.  All I know is that he's driving me nuts.  He's running constantly and seems unable to use slow walking feet.  I'm really trying to be patient but I only have so much patience to go around. Hopefully,  everything will slow down after this week is over.  We need to get into a return to some sort of routine before the summer arrives.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and…

Gavin received this rainbow art thingy for Christmas.  I'm not sure why he waited until now to open this art kit but he did.  This is he first creation. He wanted me to share this with all of you before he gave it to Grandma's. I hope you enjoy it.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store Posted from WordPress for Android so please forgive any typos as auto-correct and I don't see eye to eye. :-)

Lizze and I both woke up to the sound of gunshots.  I'm not sure what time it is but it's well after 1am. I'm not sure how close they were but they were really loud. It's kind hard to go back to sleep after hearing something like that. At least the boys slept through it.  I don't want to have to explain what that noise was. Gonna try to get back to sleep. I hope no one was hurt..... **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store Posted from WordPress for Android so please forgive any typos as auto-correct and I don't see eye to eye. :-)

The last couple of nights Emmett hasn't been sleeping well.  Around midnight,  he makes his way into our bed and takes up all my space.  I'm not sure what's going on with him at moment but this doesn't promote a restful sleep as I end up on the couch. Then of course there's Bella. She follows Emmett and takes up the rest of my side of the bed.  It really doesn't bother me and in a way it's kinda cute. If I wanted to sleep in my bed I would just move Emmett back into his. However, if he sleeps better than it's totally worth it.  :-) I took this picture last night before moving to the couch. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our…

Gavin created this Lego creation for Emmett.  It's a transformer and Emmett loves it. However,  it's a bit to complex because it falls apart all the time, which frustrates Emmett. However,  it's a really creative transformer and it's also the thought that counts. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store Posted from WordPress for Android so please forgive any typos as auto-correct and I don't see eye to eye. :-)

This coming week is perhaps the busiest we have ever had.  When you are a special needs parent your schedule and time are not your own.  They are instead occupied by whatever your child needs. The Lost and Tired family is no stranger to this. Having said that,  we will be pushed this week,  much farther than we have in the past. Beginning Monday,  Emmett and I will drop Gavin and Lizze off at Akron Children's Hospital for a period of 48 hours.  During this time,  Gavin will undergo a VEEG to determine just how bad his seizures are. This is important for obvious reasons. During this time,  I will be home with Emmett.  Elliott will be at Lizze's parents house.  They will take Elliott to school and Emmett and…

I spoke with all of you previously about Emmett's speech therapy and occupational therapy being taken away by the insurance company. I have since appealed those decisions and am awaiting the results. However,  yesterday we received another letter.  This time he it was informing us that physical therapy is being taken away as well. What's really confusing about this is that a few weeks ago it had been approved and now they are taking it away. I will be appealing this decision first thing Monday morning and we will also be working with an attorney that is currently trying to get legislation passed that will force carriers to cover Autism in Ohio. Elliott has also been denied once again as well.  My patience is nonexistent anymore and I'm prepared to…
