I forgot to update you on Elliott’s appointment

It's been a pretty great morning thus far. After the long week had by the boys and I, everyone woke up with minimal effort. ☺ Elliott seems to be doing better and that's a big deal. Oh shit! That reminds me, I forgot to explain what happened at Elliott's appointment, so let me quickly bring you up to speed. We saw the doctor on Friday and Elliott doesn't appear to have pneumonia. ☺ It seems like an upper respiratory thing, probably a virus and that's triggering issues with his asthma. His doctor is focusing on treating the asthma with steroids and his emergency inhaler. After a few days, all signs point to improvement. ...... and now you're up to speed. ☺ After dropping the kids off at school, I got…

He can go from zero to rage in no time flat

Elliott's appointment went pretty well. It was with the Behavioral Health Center at Akron Children's Hospital and it was also the first time we had really been to the new building.

It was good that it happened because they were a there to witness some of the challenges he's dealing with first hand. Anyway, I took Elliott to get lunch and was kinda excited about that because he and I…

This is an unbelievably busy week

It's going to be a seriously busy week and it's going to involve a great deal of driving. Elliott has an appointment at Akron Children's Hospital in the morning. This is for a medication check with the behavioral health center. The drive will likely be longer than the actual appointment but it is what it is. On Wednesday, I'll be returning to Akron Children's Hospital again, this time with Gavin. He's got a follow up with gastroenterology. We've been waiting for this and I need to make this happen. On Thursday, Lizze has an appointment in the morning and on Friday, I'm back at Akron Children's Hospital once more for the boys. This is just a regular thing with their pediatrician. It's not a big deal but we still have…
