Today’s Victory: Occupying themselves

I'm pretty stressed out today because I have a ton of things that have to get done for work. I'm remastering a demo video and it's very, very time consuming.  Lizze still isn't feeling well and so she's only able to don't much to help me by distracting the kids. We have to go to my parents house in order to get a usable cell signal so I can do a Skype meeting and find new home Internet service. I'm not sure what Emmett’s got going on right now.  It could be the beginning of a flare because his hands and feet are hot to the touch, as well as sores in his mouth. Plus, he's pretty moody today.  These are the typical precursors to a flare up but he…

Next stop, IVIG Infusion

In the morning, I will be taking Gavin to get his IVIG Infusion at Akron Children's Hospital.  This will be the priority for Monday.  Once the infusion is behind us, I will switch gear to other things.  As part of my new job, our Internet should be restored soon. That's awesome because T-Mobile has not fixed the problems in our area yet. I'll talk more about this new job in a later post.  Just know that this is a very good thing for my family.  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

Gavin’s latest Lego creation: Some kind of spaceship

While the boys were gone today, Gavin was building with Legos. He built this spaceship but didn't say much more about it besides it has thrusters. I'm not sure what, if anything is his source of inspiration for this one. It does look pretty cool and I promised him that I would share it with you all, as soon as I could. Please feel free to leave your positive feedback. He lives to hear what you think. :-) 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

Have you ever seen a prettier smile?

The other day I took a really good picture of Maggie, our English Staffy. She's absolutely amazing and looks after our family. I thought I would introduce her to those of you that haven't met her yet.

This doesn’t look good

It appears that Emmett is heading into another flare.  It's actually been a few weeks since the last full-on fever flare. He has a really large sore on the middle of his tongue. Ironically, he doesn't seem to be in any significant amount of pain so that's a blessing.  Hopefully, this will pass quickly or even stop all together.  Since his flares reappeared about 2 months ago, the pattern has been erratic and not at all like we were accustomed to. At this point, we take it one flare up at a time.  Emmett's still smiling right now and so that's all that matters.  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…

How’s your Saturday going? Mine’s going pretty well

Lizze is really sick today. She went to bed around 7pm last night and woke up about 12 hours later. She was up for about 2 hours this morning before succumbing once again to sleep. I have a project I have to try and finish today for the GPS Tracker project. Elliott and Emmett will be going to Lizze's parents this afternoon and then spending the night. Gavin on the other hand, will not.  This is part of his consequences for yesterday's massive tantrum. The boys will have a break from Gavin and Gavin will have a break from the boys. I'm really hoping to get some things accomplished.  There is no Internet connection on my phone yet and I'm gonna post this while at the post office this afternoon. …

#Autism: A walk on the lighter side

I wanted to share this picture with all of you.  My son Emmett just kills me.  He loves to line things up and what tends to happen is we sorta stumble upon these lines, after he's fled the scene.  :-) 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

I put my pants on one leg at a time

I had a few readers mention to me lately that they had started to feel bad because it seems like I got it together and they feel that they are falling apart.  This is something I wanted to clarify right away because I never want to make anyone feel that way. First of all, I'm not perfect. If you don't believe me just ask my wife.. I can drive her crazy at times.  :-) Seriously though, I make mistakes all the time, in fact, I discovered that I recently made a really big mistake. It was more of an oversight but wow, this was a pretty big one.  Look for this in a future post. The truth is that I'm pretty comfortable with my life. I'm used to this and…
