The boys have both had their vitals taken and in a surprising turn of events, Emmett would not tolerate the BP cuff. ;-) Mommy is reading stories while the boys are getting restless...  sigh - Lost and Tired Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just click the link) and help me spread Autism Awareness.

We just arrived at NCMF with Elliott and Emmett for the respective appointments. We will be here a while and have bloodwork and vaccines to look forward to.  I have no idea how this is going to go. Gavin is with my mom and she is taking him to OT so he doesn't miss his appointment. - Lost and Tired Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just click the link) and help me spread Autism Awareness.

Gavin begins OT this week at Concorde Kids. I hope this helps him to better manage his sensory needs. He really enjoyed his initial visit so these should be a positive experience as well. I'll let you know how it goes. We are waiting for speech an PT as well. Dang waiting lists :-(  

Emmett has his 3 year appoint today with Dr. H. He'll check all the usuals and let us know where he is at as far as weight and height. We will discuss vaccines and what he needs and doesn't need. I'm not sure if he's due for any or not but we always like to talk to Dr. H about any and all vaccines prior to blindly vaccinating any of our kids. We do our best to responsibly vaccinate our children. As I have made very clear in the past we are pro vaccines but we still do our research and seek the advice of our trusted Dr. H before we decide to give one of our children a vaccination. It will be interesting to see where Emmett is compared…

Elliott has his ADHD evaluation today. This has been a long time coming and hopefully we will get some answers one way or the other. This scares me more then the Aspergers dx because for him it appears to be much more of a problem. I foresee a medication trial in the future and I hate the idea of any of my kids being medicated. Hopefully we will have some answers today and start to move forward. - Lost and Tired Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just click the link) and help me spread Autism Awareness.

Singing Happy Birthday to Emmett won't get me on American Idol but he was REALLY happy and that's all that matters. This is the first time he has shone interest in his birthday so this was really exciting......... I thought I would share the moment with all of you. :-)   [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcz6mjLyqzo[/youtube]

Emmett has been really excited about his birthday cake all weekend. The moment finally arrived and he was really excited. This was the only, relatively, Emmett friendly birthday cake I could find. So flowers it is :-) - Lost and Tired Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just click the link) and help me spread Autism Awareness. Everyone can Vote once a day :)

While it's pretty simple he is really enjoying it. I wish it could have more elaborate but we just can't right now. As long as he's happy, I guess that's all that matters. Happy Birthday Emmett!!!! - Lost and Tired Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just click the link) and help me spread Autism Awareness. Everyone can Vote once a day :)
