Elliott's first day at his new school was a resounding success.  In fact one of his classmates from his old school is in his class now. He is so excited to see him.  Elliott says he won't be nervous about going back in the morning.  To quote him exactly he said,  "it's cool dad".  Hey,  I'll take that as a positive and more forward.  I'm really glad that worked out...  One less thing to worry about.... - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra 2 powered Motorola Photon 4G (provided to me at no charge by Sprint) without the use of proper editing tools and disadvantages of a bastardized version of auto-correct.

So Emmett got home from school today and immediately began the coming home routine. Step 1) Remove the shirt the moment you cross the threshold. Step 2) Shoes and socks come off next. Step 3) Pants are the last to come off. Step 4) Chicken nuggets and Netflix on the couch with Daddy. - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra 2 powered Motorola Photon 4G (provided to me at no charge by Sprint) without the use of proper editing tools and disadvantages of a bastardized version of auto-correct.

Disclaimer: This post is not intended for my younger readers. Grownup topic is being discussed. I was informed today that the gentleman that was stabbed the other night,  passed away, leaving behind two young daughters. So now he went from being stabbed to being murdered and his two daughters went from having a Daddy to being without one. A host of a local, very popular radio show apparently knew him on a personal level. She said he was the nicest guy in the world and would have given you the shirt off his back. So far I have heard that he was just an innocent victim of a senseless, random act of violence. I don't even know what to say. What is wrong with the world?? Thus wasn't a drug…

Gavin is prepped and ready to go to his second IgG infusion. About an hour before the infusion is to begin, we apply a cream to Gavin's skin that will completely numb the area. This is done so that the experience is as pleasant as possible. He should feel no pain and that will help to make this more of a positive experience for him. We do this at home prior to leaving so that we don't have to wait an hour after we get there for the meds to kick in. Thia way his arm is already numb and we can get started right away. This shaves an hour off the entire process. Now it should be done in approximately 4 hours. I wish that I could be there…

Emmett returned to school today for the only the 3rd day since school began. His health issues have prevented him from attending. While he did go back today, he will be out fir the next 10 days.  On Wednesday morning Emmett will be having surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids in the hope of improving his health. No one knows for sure if this will make a difference because the PFABA that Emmett suffers from is very rare. However, it has been shown to reduce the frequency of outbreaks or flare ups. God willing, this will help Emmett to make it through the winter this year relatively unscathed. - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra 2 powered Motorola Photon 4G (provided to me at no…

Elliott is on his way to the very first day at his brand new school. He's very nervous but won't come out and say it. He was up very late last night with the case of the first day at a new school jitters. It took a bit to get him moving this morning but I think he's going to have a good day. He's in a class of 12 kids and only 3 have IEP's. That means it a mostly typical classroom, which is awesome. He wasn't to excited about posing for pictures but I managed to get a few. Emmett even got in on the fun by taking some pictures of his own with his Android4Autism device. Elliott,  my little man, I love you and hope you gave…

Welcome to another exciting edition of Emmett's Shirt of The Day. Today Emmett is sporting his East Side Choppers shirt today. He's very excited to be wearing it and even more excited to be sharing it with you.

Elliott is really nervous about his day of school in the morning. I know he would feel better if Gavin was going with him but for the first couple days he's flying solo. Elliott will not go to sleep. He's being exceptionally whiny tonight as well. He won't stop talking long enough to fall asleep. Poor kid is really freaking out about school in the morning. I know once he gets there he'll be just fine. He just needs to get that first day over with and get used to the new schedule. I have complete confidence in both the school and Elliott. I just wish he would go to bed because I need my beauty sleep. ;-) - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra 2…
