Gavin's been complaining of headaches almost every night after going to bed. Last night was no exception and I haven't a clue what's behind this.  None of his medications have changed in months, and I know he's plenty hydrated. Those are the first things we thought of when these headaches began occurring with more and more frequency.  We also looked at allergies as well but they appear to be managed.  Something else we have to consider is whether or not Gavin is experiencing a headache, or if something else is causing him discomfort and he's labeled it a headache.  Gavin is not a reliable source of information about his own body. He struggles with describing how he's feeling and often does so in ways that make no sense or can…

Gavin went to bed, not feeling well. His stomach was upset, and it took him quite awhile to fall asleep. We tried getting him to let us put a fan in his room, and he still didn't want it.  I don't think the heat is the issue, I'm leaning towards reflux again. He seems to be struggling with that lately. We have to be careful what he eats, although nothing is consistently causing him problems.  Tums seemed to help him enough to allow him to fall asleep. If it hadn't, we would have moved to Zofran, but we try to help him work through it without hardcore meds.  It worked because he's sleeping. I've checked on him a few times and he's out like a light.  Hopefully, he'll be feeling…

Lately, Gavin's memory has been getting significantly worse. It was little things at first, like losing his shoes. When we went to the grocery store, he could find the items that I had always been able to send him for, and everything was in the same exact place.  We've moved to more serious things now.  The other day, when the boys came back from their Grandparents, Gavin just stood outside the front door. We have keyless entry, and all he has to do is put the code in, and the door unlocks.  I had to go open it for him because he forgot that he could let himself in. In fact, he didn't even see the keyless entry.  When I asked him why he didn't let himself in, he got…

Gavin and I were on our way to the grocery store when we got hit by a pretty major rain storm. Gavin doesn't walk in the rain, because he doesn't like to get wet. I suppose I don't blame him for that.  We're currently sitting in the parking lot at Giant Eagle, waiting out the rain.  They say in Ohio, if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes.
