I was wondering if any of your kids sleep with there eyes open. I'll be honest with you, it creeps me out just a bit. Is this common with ASD kids? Maybe just Gavin? - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct.

Gavin is sick AGAIN tonight. I don't know what the heck is going on. We are calling the Gastro first thing in the morning. I think they are going to do a second bowel prep. They said that he was so backed up that a second round may be needed. Something has to give because he can't keep going on like this. We need to get him some relief. Hopefully we can do that tomorrow. I wish I knew WTF was going on because he should not be getting sick like this everyday....

This morning Elliott and I went to my parents house for brunch. Everyone else stayed back due to not feeling well. Elliott and I had fun and brunch was really good. Here are a few pics of the morning. - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct.

This post was not easy to write but I hope it benefits someone out there that may be in a similar boat and needs help. Hopefully, my honesty will help you to realize that you are not alone :-) I need help........   I have been going through some things lately. I have, for a while now, been.....preoccupied with my own mortality. It has become more and more difficult to manage these feelings.......actually, more like fears, anymore. I feel like my life is over or I'm dying and it's a HORRIBLE feeling. The rational side of me knows that my life has really only just begun. However, there is another part of me that chooses to embrace these feelings of despair. I guess embrace is the wrong choice of words...more like…

Gavin has been vomiting all morning. We arent exactly sure why either. I suspect that it has something to do with the bowel issues. I'm thinking that the bowel prep wasn't enough to clean him out. The doc said that if it doesn't work we have to call them and do it again. We are going to have to do that first thing in the morning as I don't think they are in the office due to the holiday. He seems to be feeling better and so I think we will be find, at this point anyway, waiting till the morning. Nothing is ever easy here.....sigh - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct. Please…

For whatever reason Emmett has been screaming ALL morning. When I say sreaming, I mean ear piercing and headache inducing screaming. I have no idea what's behind this but we need to figure it out. I don't know if he's in pain or just overwhelmed. This is when I find the speech and language delays to be the most frustrating. I want to help him but I don't know how because he can't tell me what's wrong. Helpless doesn't quite say it....

Emmett has been having more and more "Autistic days" as we call them. These are days where he screams a great deal more the usual.  He also seems to MUCH more sensory oriented as well. We call them "Autistic says" because on these days his symptoms are much more profound and more significantly affect him....and us for that matter. We haven't really found a pattern for these days and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why the occur. We have been noticing more and more of these days lately and I'm not sure why. Maybe he's still adjusting to the boys being home most of the time now. I'm not sure what else it could be as everything else is basically the same. It's honestly very…

I just want to wish everyone a very safe and happy July 4th. We will probably keep things low key and sensory friendly nut that doesn't mean we can't still have fun. We are starting our by having brunch at my parents house and then probably coming home and doing a few things around the house. Tomorrow evening, hopefully the kids can sit out on the second floor balcony and watch the fireworks. Maybe even catch a fresh batch of fireflies....who knows. Please stay safe and if you are gonna be drinking, PLEASE don't drive. Enjoy the July 4th festivities. - Lost and Tired Post by Wordpress for Android via Nexus S 4G with out the use of proper editing tools and auto-correct. Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just…
