This morning is already taxing what's left of my sanity. Gavin will not stop talking and I'm pretty sure my head is going to explode, so you might want to take a step back. He's manic and this isn't his fault but holy crap, his random thoughts are endless. Dr.  Patti said that this is a manic thing with a smidgen of wanting to be the center of attention. From my perspective, that actually makes a great deal of sense.  This morning, we are watch cartoons on Netflix and Gavin is giving us a play by play of what's happening.  It's a lot like going to the movie theater and sitting next to someone who just won't stop talking the entire movie.  You get to the point that you (or…

This Manic Monday ended with another cold shower.  I still can't get Dominion to call me back.  All I know is that everyone I've spoken to at Dominion has said this shouldn't have happened. I need to speak to a supervisor to get this fixed and there in lies the problem. It could be worse but I'll try again in the morning.  Let's see...... Today was full of stuff.  We had Cleveland Clinic stuff and Emmett meltdown stuff. I'll start with the Cleveland Clinic stuff first.  We went to the Cleveland Clinic today to meet with Lizze's Gastroenterologist.  The two topics today were Celiac disease and Gastroparesis (slow stomach). It's suspected that she has both but we don't know for sure.....yet. Lizze had repeat lab work done this afternoon to…

Last night Gavin had a really bad bout of chest pain. We were leaving my parents house and he doubled over.  It's really  frustrating because no one can ever find anything wrong and we just had him to cardiologist a few days before this whole CPS thing went down. The really scary part is that Gavin never complained.  Elliott found him and came running to get us.  This begs the question, how often is this happening?  Gavin's really strange in the sense that he never complains about serious things and severe pain.  However, he will completely freak out over a hang nail. I've always been told that it's likely a sensory thing but it really makes things more challenging, especially when it comes to keeping up on his health.  Anyway,…

Elliott decided today that he was going to start Hula Hooping at Grandma's house.  Having never done this before, I'd say he's doing pretty good.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ys3VJPP8w&feature=youtube_gdata_player 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

Lizze and I just picked up the boys and have arrived home.  The appointment went okay, I suppose.  The dime store version goes like this.  We don't know anymore now than what we did walking into the appointment today. Does Lizze have Celiac? We don't know....yet. All the bloodwork is currently being redone because of how long it's been since the last test.  The labs were drawn before we left and we should know the results very soon.  Regardless of the results of this lab work, Lizze is scheduled for an endoscopy on July 15th. This will serve double duty.  If she is positive for Celiac again, they will do the biopsies at that time.  However, this is going to happen anyway because they are very concerned about her constant…

We have arrived at the Cleveland Clinic and are awaiting the news as to what direction our life is going to take. On the way up here today, Lizze reminded me that she also has a slow stomach and this appointment is also to discuss that as well. Please say a prayer that everything goes well and she can catch a break.

Today is going to be pretty crazy. We have to leave shortly for the Cleveland Clinic and drop the boys off at my parents on the way. Gavin is still manic and psychotic. We have to give his meds time to work and in the meantime, be as patient as humanly possible. It's not easy though because he just talks nonstop. Thankfully, he's not violent at this point. That's actually a pretty big blessing. There are a few more concerns I have about Gavin, concerning his health but that will have to be another post. Best wishes to alp of you on the Manic Monday.
