I thought it was fitting to update everyone on how Lizze was doing, you know, in general. To sum it all up in a few words....not really good. Lizze has been dealing with a great deal of pain lately. Her migraines are also raging almost every day. They are however, are least for now, responding to her pain meds. I suppose if there was a silver lining that would be it. However, there is some bad news as well. Her tremors have gotten worse and are no longer subdued by her current level of medication. As a result the medication treating the tremors had to be increased. It seems to be helping but the side effect is that she is sleeping a lot more. Hopefully this is a temporary thing…

Today Lizze turns 31. In those 31 years she has experienced more then most will in a lifetime. I hope today is peaceful and pain free for her. Even if it's just for today. Love you honey.

It has been a long and trying weekend. We were suprised this morning with a phone call from my parents. They wanted to take the boys to see my grandma in Y-Town. This was a welcomed suprise as I had a ton of things to do today. Lizze got to sleep most of the day and she needed that. I got the grocery shopping done and then quite a bit of yard work as well. While it was weekend filled with challenge, it was also filled with some progress and that doesn't happen very often. Thanks for the help Mom and Dad. I ALao want to thank Lizze's parents for taking Gavin for a few days this past week. We all needed the break. - Lost and Tired Post by…

My kids, Emmett and Gavin in particular have ever growing needs. Doctors visits and therapies, just to name a few. Much of the time I'm able to meet those needs and others times I'm not.  Typically, I try to take it a week at a time as that's the best I can do right now. Currently, I have arrived at a place where I just can't keep up with the demand. Gavin's recent hospital stays and the van breaking down have disrupted our rather delicate financial balance. At times like these I have to find other ways to make it another week. The boys have a week filled with therapies and at least one trip to Akron Children's Hospital. So the agenda for today is to figure out how to make it…

After a long tiring day of playing, screaming and yelling Emmett finally crashes. While sitting up on the couch AND fully clothed. :-)  Isn't he precious... - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct.

Emmett has made his triumphant return home from my parents house. What does he do the moment he arrives home? I'll give you 3 guesses but if you read this blog regularly, you'll only need one. That's right, he strips down to his skivvies. Clearly, he has had all he could take of his clothes today. Some people come home and have a drink or watch the game to unwind, Emmett sheds his clothes. Autism? Sensory issues? What are you talking about? Certainly none of that here. ;-) - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct.
