Last night while at therapy Elliott was extra cute and I thought I would lighten the mood for a bit and share them. He is just to stinkin' adorable. He wanted to pose for the camera a few times and I promised him I would share them with all of you. Please enjoy the cuteness compliments of Elliott Richard. :) - Lost and Tired Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just click the link) and help me spread Autism Awareness.

The doctor has come and gone. He seemed to take us seriously....at least I think he did. Gavin "may" actually get admitted this time. Just so I'm VERY clear, we aren't looking to dump Gavin off but instead first d him so desperately needed help or intervention. If he gets admitted he will get the constant individualized attention he needs to "maybe" work through this. The change of environment may be helpful as well.

We are here and have been informed that the wait will be VERY long today. Gavin is being interviewed right now, with our consent, by one of the people familiar with him. We'll see how it goes. Gavin is acting like nothing happened. This is pretty typical and part of the frustration. He will get the whole house turned upside down and then just shut it off as though nothing happened. Everyone is still traumatized and trying to cope and Gavin has already moved on. My allergies are driving me CRAZY. I would much rather be at home while this miserable.  - Lost and Tired Please Vote for Lost and Tired (just click the link) and help me spread Autism Awareness. Everyone can Vote once a day :)

Gavin broke his behavioral contract so we will be leaving for Akron Children's Hospital as soon as we have someone to watch Emmett. Oh....and speaking of Akron Children's Hospital, I have a bone to pick with them. Last night I learned (not sure why I was hearing this for the first ti me last night) what actually happened while at Akron Children's the other day. Apparently, Lizze was questioned by the "social worker" and treated as though she did this to him.. Gavin was pulled into another room and questioned without parental consent. Being that he is clearly a minor I'm not real sure they can do that.  Gavin has a VERY long and VERY documented history of violence towards himself and others. The police can't even question a minor…

We are off to see Dr. Patti and I have Gavin and Elliott in tow. Lizze is going to hang with Emmett, get him bathed and off to bed. Topic of conversation tonight: Gavin Posted from WordPress for Android

Lizze gave me the morning off. She took the kids to school and Emmett to therapy and then to school. This was a very pleasant and much needed break. She should be back around 3:30pm this afternoon. All we will have left to do is therapy tonight. I'm going to try to get some things done that I haven't had the time for. I REALLY want to get these medical binders ready. We just have a few loose ends to tie up. I think these could not only help my family by improving our income but they will also help people stay organized in the often times chaotic world of special needs parenting. I managed to get most of the yardwork done so that's a plus..well at least until later…

So we have this little problem (well I think it's a problem anyway) with Gavin. You see it's 90f here in Ohio and we are all desperately trying to keep cool. Well, all of us but Gavin. Gavin is cold, at least that what he says. If we let him and we don't, but if we did, he would be sleeping with pants and a hoody. Not only that but he would be under his comforter, windows closed and no fan. We're torn here. On one hand we want him to be comfortable but on the other we need him safe and healthy. It's simply to hot for what he's "comfortable" with. Gavin struggles with regulatory issues so we can't rely on him adjusting things if he gets to hot…
