Gavin is still in a crisis state but more stable. All of his new medications are currently being taken, including the Lithium. His facial ticks are still getting progressively worse to the point that the muscles under his jaw are cramping. I feel bad for him because it can't feel good. He still appears to be hearing voices although he's not as openly talking about them with us. He is however, non-stop talking. I mean to say that he never shut's up. I've been sitting here with him today and I don't know that he ever stopped talking.  He's talking about nothing at all. He just keeps sharing everything that's going through his head. Believe me when I say, it gets old after the first few hours. He is still very easily agitated…

Well today my wife hit the big 30. Last night she went to dinner with her parents (yes we have all reunited) and I watched the kids. Today she is at her parents house for a birthday cook out. I stayed back because Gavin isn't stable enough to take him any where. So Lizze took the other kids and they should have fun. Birthday's are pretty laid back here for obvious reasons. I hope her birthday is a good one. Gavin is building with Lego's while I get caught up on some writing. Happy Birthday Lizze.

Gavin started Lithium today. So far so good as we haven't seem anything negative (probably to soon to tell). He also began the meds to treat the facial ticks and that does seem to be helping.  The facial ticks have been getting worse each day . Hopefully this new medication will help.

I will be writing for the examiner.com as the Autism and Parenting examiner for my area. It's a great opportunity to help families that are new or lost inside the community. Once everything gets going I pass the link along. Thanks

We got home a few hours ago and Gavin checked out ok. I figured he would be fine but we weren't taking any chances. The amount of freak things that happen to that child is unbelievable. We learned to be safe and not sorry. He started his lithium today so we'll see how that goes. His facial ticks are getting much worse. I hope the meds we have to counter them work for him. It doesn't look very comfortable. Gavin has been extremely hyper today but he's been operating within the rules so good for him :) Posted LostandTired.com via BlackBerry.
