Good News/Bad News

We got some good news today from the immunologist in regards to Emmett.  You may remember that he recently had a follow up appointment and there was concern that Emmett may have herpes and something called Natural Killer Cells. The doctor was concerned that Emmett may have somehow contracted Herpes and that these cycles were more like outbreaks and the sores in his mouth were actually brought on by the Herpes simplex virus. In a rare,  positive twist of fate, it turns that we know for sure that Emmett doesn't have Herpes.  That's awesome..  We had no idea where that would have come anyways.  He also doesn't have whatever the heck that Natural Killer Cells thing either. I'm thrilled to get this news,  I really am.  However,  much like a…

A nap did the trick

Thank goodness,  I'm feeling much better now after my nap.  Elliott on the other hand is not. He's grouchy,  miserable and coughing up a lung. We are going to get a hold of the pediatrician and maybe get him in.  We have to be careful with him because his asthma makes him more susceptible to respiratory issues. What really sucks is that we have a 30+ minute drive to the pediatricians office and I know that will be uncomfortable for Elliott.  I'll keep you all posted.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Behavioral problems before school today

Gavin has been having problems already this morning.  He wasn't listening before school,  with the added bonus of being disrespectful to Lizze....again. Because he was so uncooperative this morning, we fed him oatmeal for breakfast and called the school and made sure they knew that he had already eaten. To his credit,  he didn’t throw a fit. He accepted the consequences without further incident.  I suppose that a positive thing, right? This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Apparently it’s my turn

I'm feeling under the weather this morning.  I don't know if it's lack of sleep or what. I just know that I feel like I've been run over by a freight train. I'm gonna take a little nap and with any luck, I'll feel better when I wake up. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

How do you explain to your child with #Autism that they have #Autism?

The question for today is,  have you had to explain to your child with #Autism, that they have #Autism? If you have,  what did you say? How did it go?

I hate it when my kids are sick

It's never easy when your kids aren't feeling well.  However, when you had kids with special needs, things can prove to be much. Pretty complicated.  Elliott is sick and woke up a few minutes ago. He's miserable and refusing to go back to bed. I'm so,  so tired and I don't see much sleep in my future. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Another night on the couch

Elliott is sick and I think we may try to get him in to be seen today. His throat hurts to the point that he is not talking and Elliott is a talker.  Because he has asthma, we have to be a little research careful. Right now Elliott is sleeping and I hope that in the morning he's feeling better and his fever will have broken. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

It’s the time of year for a big pot of soup

My phone just belted out a weather alert.  We have a frost advisory on affect for tonight and tomorrow morning.  We already have leaves on the ground.  It's the perfect time of year for a huge pot of chicken noodle soup. I love to cook,  so this is a good day for me.  I have the chicken boiling right now and will sneak in all the veggies in the morning.  I love making good, healthy food for my family and a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup on a frosty evening is just awesome.  Do you have any favorite, seasonal foods?
