We're on the way to the Emergency Room with Emmett.  I'm concerned that he aspirated earlier today.  Perhaps we're overreacting but everything I learned from all my experience as a paramedic, I'm feeling very uncomfortable with his status right now.  I will error on the side of caution each and every time.  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

Both Lizze and I brought Gavin to his IVIG infusion today.  The E's are staying with my parents for the afternoon.  We arrived shortly after noon and got back pretty quick. Gavin's vitals were good and he's down to 123 lbs, which is awesome.  His heart rate is in the 120 rage during intake and while that's high, it's inconsequential for now.  I will say that Gavin's acting a bit strange but not crisis strange.  He's just off. At this point in time, we have finished up all the prep and his is finally receiving his IVIG.  We have a few hours left on this tiny bag of IVIG. This process takes a really, really long time but Gavin's comfortable and playing a Sonic game on the PS2.  I'm hoping…

I've lost track of how many time Lizze has moved down to the couch, since entering menopause.  These hot flashes are absolutely killing her. It's about 66°F in our house at any given time.  I keep the air cranked up because she's so hot all the time.  We're lying in bed and it's so chilly that I can't get my feet warm.  All of a sudden, Lizze wakes up and has sweat dripping down her face.  I can't even imagine how difficult this is for her or any other woman for that matter. It's frustrating for me because she's not getting any sleep at night, when the hot flashes are at their worst. This means that she's dead to the world during the day. There's never any peace for her…
