Gavin is currently getting hooked up to the EEG machine. They are sooooo nice and understanding.  I can stay with Gavin but he's fine and so I'll hang in the waiting room for a few hours. The really good news is that I can actually help out with Elliott test on Monday. Thank God for that. There was no way that Elliott would ever go through with the EEG without me being right there with him. They said I can absolutely be there the whole time and even help with the test. Awesome :-)

Gavin and I have arrived at Akron Children's Hospital. It's about 5:35 am and the building we are in is deserted at this hour. I had to call to let then know we were here. I'm not sure if they are going to let me go back with him. Lizze said that she thinks I may just have to wait in the waiting room. This may work for Gavin as he's a brave kid for the most part. He'll go back without a problem because doesn't fear to many things. Elliott on the other hand, will not be okay with this. I'm gonna talk to the staff about that today and try to make special arrangements for Elliott. It's gonna be a long morning..

I have to have Gavin at Akron Children's Hospital in about 5 hours, for his scheduled EEG. The test isn't supposed to take very long but holy crap, is that going to an early day or what. Lizze and Emmett are both under the weather, so they will probably sleep for most of the morning. I really hope this goes well.

Tonight I had the most amazing experience. I want to share what happened. Emmett was watching Gavin playing with Maggie and Bella. I was privileged enough to hear the beautiful sound of his laughter. I wanted to share this with all of you because it's my absolute favorite sound. :-)   [youtube width="720" height="480"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHFO9izyOW4[/youtube]  

I would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Lost and Tired family. Her name is Bella and she is a purebred,  brindle boxer. Someone gave her to us last week. We weren't sure whether or not this was a good idea.  However,  she was worked out well so far and fits right in with the rest of the family. Our hope is that she will work well with Emmett and help to curb some of his behavior issues.  There were a few reasons we decided to accept her, the biggest was security.  Since our van was stolen last month,  someone tried to get into the house. I'm assuming it was the car thieves because they kept our house key.  They must forced the old key into…

Lizze had her EMG done this morning.  She was having this done because her legs go between numb and pain. This has been getting worse as time goes on. My understanding was that we were looking for neuropathy and if it wasn't found that would be good news. Apparently Lizze and I weren't on the same page. Well,  I'm getting ahead of myself. Lizze underwent the procedure and it took about 20 minutes.  It actually went very well.  While it was unpleasant,  it was nothing like the last time. She said that if she knew it was going to be like this,  she wouldn't have worried. The doctor walked her out when she was done and told us that everything was normal and that her legs were fine. I was…

Lizze was just taken back for the procedure.  She was relying on me to be there with her and the hospital won't let me sit with her. The last time this happened,  I was aloud to sit with her so she was more comfortable.  I'm not sure what the reasoning behind not allowing me in is.  I just have to say that I'm not happy with this and know that Lizze isn't. All I have to say is screw that.  Unless their is some medical reasons for not me in, I should be allowed to comfort my wife when she is this terrified.  Screw this.....  I'm not happy right now. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Community Autism Support Forum Posted from WordPress for…

We have arrived at Aultman Hospital for Lizze's EMG.  Hopefully we will know if she has neuropathy or not. Her legs are going numb all the time and we have put this test off because of her absolute fear of needles. She has had this done once before and it was very unpleasant. We were in a car accident years ago.  It was a hit and run,  not that it matters.  It wasn't to bad but Lizze got hurt.  She was having issues with her neck and back.  They did an EMG and it was unpleasant to witness and I can only imagine what it was like for her. Right now we are waiting to go back and Lizze has taken her anti-anxiety medication.  Hopefully,  this go off without a…
