Emmett spiked a fever this afternoon. The hospital told us that if his fevers exceed 101f we have to call. Since his fever was 103f, we called the hospital The plan is that if he still has a fever in the morning we will call back and they will call in an anti-biotic to address any possible infection. About an hour ago,  I checked on Emmett and he had spiked a fever of 105.2f. We got him in the bath tub and got some more tylenol in board. We don't know if this is PFAPA related or not. Hopefully, his fever will break and everything will be okay. I can't even see straight right now because I'm so tired - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra…

Oh yes he did.  Who did what,  you may ask?  Well,  Gavin spit on Elliott.  I don't know what brought that on and frankly,  I don't care.  We do not spit on people. That is completely unacceptable in the Lost and Tired house.  Before you ask,  no,  it wasn't like he was talking and accidentally spit a little bit.  This was actually spitting on his little brother. I'm not saying Elliott was innocent in all of this but he was the spittee and Gavin was the spitter.  Oatmeal was brought back out of retirement because I don't know what else to do in this case.  We don't hit our kids and very little works on Gavin outside of oatmeal.  For those of you wondering what the oatmeal thing is all…

We finally made it through the week.  No one got left behind or lost in the shuffle....and there was a whole lot of shuffling going on. We had to put many things on hold this week in order to survive but when surving is the priority,  and it is,  you do what you have to and fun deal with the fallout later on.  There is some fallout that I have to deal with but it could always be worse.  Although,  honestly,  I need to learn to stop saying that because I end up inviting trouble and we already have enough of that on any given day. Lizze is probably paying the biggest price for all of this week's activity.  She is in a great deal of pain and has battled…

I just want everyone to know that I'm way behind on my email right now.  I do my best to respond to everyone.  However,  this week has been exceptionally difficult for me with everything we have had going on.  Please be patient with me as I work to get caught up over the weekend.  If you don't hear back from me in the next day or so please shoot me a message and I get back to you..

So we met with Dr. Glazer for over an hour.  He is truly amazing and was awesome with Gavin.  Basically,  after all is said and done,  he confirmed the current diagnosis of,  Autism,  scizoaffective disorder and PTSD.  However,  we were referred to Akron Children's Hospital towards see Dr.  Cohen.  He is the top in his field for neurology and mitochondrial disorders.  Dr.  Glazer knows him personally and he is going to call and talk to him about Gavin and get us in to be seen.  While we didn't learn anything new or really find any answers,  we did find a direction to go in.  That's something... I'll have note details later but right now we just walked in the door and for Emmett is miserable and I'm exhausted. Thanks for…

We met with the first doctor for about 2 hours.  He talked to all three of us,  then just us and then just Gavin.  This was necessary to get an accurate history.  We were asked countless questions,  some of which we could answer and some we couldn't....mostly because we are here looking for those same answers.  Going through all of this brought back a lot of memories,  some pleasant and see not so pleasant but memories nonetheless.  I really liked the doctor that we first met with.  I think he was very genuine and concerned.  He made sure Gavin felt comfortable and that he wasn't present for some of the more sensitive parts of the interview dealing with some of the abuse Gavin has endured in his young life by…

We have arrived at the Cleveland Clinic and managed to navigate the maze of hallways and corridors to find where we were supposed to be.  This is a very important appointment because these doctors are pretty much the top of the food chain in the psychiatric field.  I imagine this meeting going on for a few hours at minimum.  We had a great deal of history to get through... - Lost and Tired Posted by Wordpress for Android via Tegra 2 powered Motorola Photon 4G (provided to me at no charge by Sprint) without the use of proper editing tools and disadvantages of a bastardized version of auto-correct.
