IVIG Infusion for September 2013

Gavin and I have made it to Akron Children's Hospital this morning. We didn't have much problem getting here as traffic was pretty cooperative.  :-) Gavin's moving really slow today and admittedly, I'm not in a good place today, so I'm finding this really frustrating. He's not using his words very well today and is instead making noises or giving me looks to try and get me to do something.  When he does speak,  it's subtle manipulation.  For example: after his IVIG Infusion began, he wanted a pillow to put his arm on but instead of simply asking for a pillow, he simply complained about his arm hurting so the nurse would rush in and attend to his needs. Umm...... That's not how we do things Mr. Gavin.  We use…

Frustrated and Overwhelmed

Last night was one of those nights that just didn't provide any rest.  I feel like crap today and  my outlook is following suite. This is going to be a really long day and I have way to much that I have to try and accomplish. Frustrated and overwhelmed. :-( This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

Crazy Busy

Today is going to be crazy busy.  I have to get two of the three boys to school in the morning and then get Gavin to Akron Children's Hospital  before 9am. I had to make arrangements to get Elliott to OT in the afternoon, because I don't know if I'll be back from Gavin's IVIG Infusion in time to take him. Before dinner, we have to also get the boys to Dr. Pattie's office for Tuesday Therapy. I can't wait until the day is over.

The “Did you know’s” of #Autism

Once again, I want to share another Autism related fact. Yes, I know Aspergers technically no longer exists.  However, how many people still refer to the Aspergers diagnosis? That's rhetorical. :-) These little Autism quotes are meant to help spread Autism Awareness for both the person with Autism and their parents and family.  All too often, people equate Aspergers or high functioning Autism, with newer challenges.  That's not always the case.  This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

The Monday School Report: 09/09/2013

I picked up the boys from school and was happy to hear that everyone had a good day.  This year, the school is using a point system for behavioral problems.  Elliott and Gavin, each Lost one point today.  Gavin got frustrated in math class but Elliott was unable to remember why he lost a point. Emmett maintained all his points and was more than happy to shoot that to anyone that was willing to listen.  :-) Elliott was grumpy and refused to be in the picture.  :-( This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

Proceeds of this auction go to help with our utilities

I wanted to share an auction I've listed on eBay to help with getting out hest turned back on before it gets cold out. This auction is for a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I bought this with a Best Buy gift card, with the intention to stick if right up on eBay and sell it for cash.  I figured this was easier than trying to sell the gift card itself. Anyway, this is Samsung's latest and greatest tablet.  It sports an HD screen that measures 8 in diagonally. This is a wifi only device and requires no carrier contract. This is an s-pen device and would be amazing for anyone needing a tablet. Check it out here: Auction This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please…

The Monday Morning Report: 09/09/13

I'm pleased to share that the boys have gotten off to school without a problem.  The school lunch is our only hiccup at this time.  Elliott and Emmett will not eat what is being served today and we are currently out of sandwich bags.  We assured the boys that we will get bags and drop their lunches off to them later this morning. This is an otherwise good start to the day.

Busting the stache, the mustache that is

Before school started, I wrote about Gavin and his new best friend.  That new friend came to live with him when puberty became a part of his life a couple years ago. This new friend is his mustache. We were debating whether or not Gavin should shave his mustache for school.  The night before school started, Gavin decided that he should shave it. Shaving it makes him feel grown up. When Gavin came home from his grandparents today, he came baring a very special present.  He received an electric razor of his very own.  He could  array contain his excitement when he arrived home. He will be shaving every day and he can't wait to do so. We say our goodbyes to the porn-stache and say hello to a clean…
