Today is going to begin with a round of phone calls to figure out what to do with Gavin.  It's apparent that he needs to have more work done to his medications. His anti-psychotic medications can be bumped up one last notch before he hits the ceiling.  To be honest, I'm really worried that we are going to be unable to bring him back to a more solid footing within reality.  I don't know of what we are going to do if we are unable to treat this psychotic break.  I also don't know if this is one of those things that will work itself out, if simply left alone.  This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired…

As I was walking upstairs to go to bed tonight, I found Elliott standing at the top of the stairs.  After being startled by this, mostly because Lizze and I were watching Supernatural all evening, we tucked him back into bed. I ended up sitting with him until he fell asleep.  Something was bothering him but he wouldn't talk about it. All I could do was provide whatever comfort I could and respect his wishes not to talk about it. I made sure that he knew I was there for him and I let it go.  Letting it go is so much easier said than done for me.  I'm a fixer by nature and I want to fix whatever is wrong.  Unfortunately, sometimes the only thing I can do is…

Gavin got a new deck of playing cards this past week.  He's really excited because it's a full deck and isn't missing any cards like his other deck.  Why is he so excited you ask? Sadly, because his not so visible friends are able to play a game of go fish with an even number of cards. While I'm happy he's happy......... Well, you probably understand.  Anyway, he's spent much of the day in his room playing cards. Lizze and I are trying to pull him out and encourage him to engage with the rest of us.  Not sure what good it's going to do but it feels better than doing nothing.  This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-)…

Elliott and Emmett have been making Play-Doh creations all day long.  For some reason they began focusing on Phineas and Ferb.  The result was what you see below.  Pretty creative.......

The Whole Truth I've decided that I'm going to share the things that are currently weighing on my.  I welcome your thoughts but please keep any negative comments to yourself. Until you've walked even half a mile in my shoes, you're not in a position to judge.  Sharing these things is not easy to do.  I'm not proud of how we're struggling but at the same time I am.  The fact that we are struggling means we're still around and that is something I'm quite proud of. Mine is far from the only family struggling. My hope is that I can sorta purge and walk away feeling a bit lighter and less burdened. This is meant to provide you all with a bit more access into our lives and help…
