We got home a few hours ago. Basically they said that Gavin is extremely....um..backed up. That's what the vomiting is from. We are basically dealing with schizoaffective disorder that isn't properly managed or not responding to meds. On top of that we have all the complications of Autism. He's medically stable and the was the major concern. Now we wait to see if he responds to the meds.... Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts.....

I getting tired and hungry. We have been here for about 7 hours now and I haven't eaten since about this time yesterday. Trying to get Gavin resting a bit. Lizze is sleeping in her chair right now. Hopefully, we can swing by and grab something to eat if we ever get out of here. These plastic chairs are NOT good for someone with major back problems, that's for sure. I don't know what's taking so long.....

Gavin appears to be medically stable. It looks like we ARE NOT dealing with delirium. As Dr. R's nurse said yesterday we are probably dealing with the "schizo" part of schizoaffective disorder. Which is a problem still but not a life threat. So they are speaking with psych right now. They have no room at Akron so if he were admitted it would be either Cleveland or Pittsburgh. I'm thinking we can manage things for now if that is in fact what we are dealing with...

Everything came back and ok. Gavin is VERY constipated and that could cause the nausea. It not bad enough that it's completely obstructed but we need to address it none-the-less. Now we are being referred to psych. Someone is coming to interview us.......again. Not sure where that will lead but we need to explore our options to get him relief. That's it so far... Thanks for keeping him in your thoughts.

Wells just got back from X-ray. I try to take pics when I'm allowed or able to. It helps Gavin to become fimiliar with the process and Elliott to be less affraid of Gavin going of to the hospital. Elliott worries a lot when he knows Gavin's in the hospital. I can show him the random pictures and he sees Gavin's OK and feel better. Just a little trick I learned over the past 6 hospital stays... I blog about it cause it keeps me distracted just enough to stay "centered" and focused.... Also it just helps to show more about what families like mine have to go through in order to care for our special needs kids......

The tests are about to begin we need to rule out whatever we can up front. So blood work for infections, illness and other things that could cause vomiting. We are going to rule out toxicity as well due to the history of PICA. It's most likely going to be a VERY long day but hopefully it will bring answers and some much needed peace of mind........ Also Gavin didn't even flinch at the notion of getting a blood drawl. That is VERY unusual as you may remember Gavin's history when it comes to bloodwork.. I don't know whether to be proud or concerned...if that makes sense.

We heard back from the pediatricians office. Dr. H is not comfortable in this area and wants Gavin seen in Cleveland. However, I don't think Gavin will handle the 1.5 hours ride so we are diverting to Akron Children's Hospital. They are calling this in ahead of time so they are expecting us. The concern is that we don't know what's causing the vomiting right now. It's happening to often to be the flu and Gavin "claims" he has eaten any non food items. Maybe it's just the flu "again" but we don't so we don't take any chances. Please say a prayer that it's just a bug and not anything else..... -lost and tired

Getting the kids ready for school Gavin was the first ready. He was walking out of his room and he puked ALL OVER the hallway. I don't have any idea what is going on. He's doing this more and more often. He's never had food allergies before that made him sick. This happened last week and then again this week. He says he hasn't eaten anything that wasn't food but I don't know anymore. If he did my guess is he wouldn't tell us..... We're going to have to get him in to be seen today...and we already have to be in to many different places today... Update: On the phone with the doctors office
