I'll be honest, I'm really freaked out. Gavin is scaring me to the point I feel sick to my stomach. He's lost 25+ lbs since June and his diet hasn't been reduced. In fact, it's been increased and he's still losing weight. He weights 110 lbs now and that really scares me.
A few minutes before we arrived at Akron Children's Hospital, Gavin sorta slumped over in the van. I got him up to the infusion lab and they immediately got his vitals. His BP was low and he's lost another 4 lbs since last month. He's down to 110 lbs. He says he's okay but just tired.... The problem is that he's not okay because he's really unsteady and lethargic. I have no idea what we are going to do at this point. Right now we are just waiting in his room for the doctor to get here. This is happening more and more often now. Please keep Gavin in your thoughts. I think we are going to get him to the ER... This site is managed almost exclusively from my…
Depression causes me to become more easily overwhelmed and can sorta cloud my thoughts. Writing becomes particularly difficult because those clouds make not more difficult for me to find the right words to accurately articulate what I'm feeling.
We've been having tons of issues with Gavin and school. Things have been getting worse lately and Lizze and I are completely overwhelmed. However, today we have some good news and I wanted to share.
While Emmett wasn't at school today, Elliott and Gavin were. After school, they had tutoring again. This is something the school started and it's essentially an extended school day.
Lizze is back in bed and Emmett and I are on the couch watching Animal Mechanicals on Netflix. For the record, I hate this show, as do his brothers. I pretend to like it because that way Emmett has someone to watch it with. He just had his Benadryl and with any luck, he'll fall asleep and take a nap. Emmett and Elliott take Benadryl for their allergies. We don't sedate our kids with Benadryl but the side effect does sometimes work to our advantage. I need Emmett to take a nap in the worst way imaginable. I'm so completely exhausted and I desperately need to go to sleep but until Emmett takes his nap, I need to stay awake. Please send your caffinated thoughts in my directions... This site…
Last night or rather, early this morning, Emmett climbed into our bed because he was freezing. I mean, he was literally shaking uncontrollably. The moment I touched him, I knew what was going on because he was burning up.
