I was 9pm and Elliott had already woken up and didn't want to be alone. He is really struggling with being alone. He climbed down the stairs and up onto the couch to snuggle with us. As he was climbing up onto the couch Lizze reached out her arms for him and he jumped away saying "it's my shirt". Then he avoided her and climbed up next to me. She was trying to give him a hug. He was clearly still half asleep. This nightmare must have really been a weird one... I got Elliott in bed after the movie and no sooner did I come down the steps then Emmett started screaming. So Lizze just took that as the end of the night call. I'm waiting for close to…

This is what I'm seeing right now. We have a ton of snow coming down. Snow day perhaps?

For my new readers this is Toothless, Elliott's bearded dragon. It was about 4 inches when we got him now he's almost almost 16 inches long. Elliott and I raised him from a baby. I thought it might be a cool thing for us to do together....

One thing I neglected to mention earlier was that Gavin's diagnosis has changed. Lizze noticed that on Gavin's chart (type thing) that his diagnose is now listed as schizo-effective disorder instead of bipolar. This actually makes much more sense then a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. However, it is closer to a diagnosis of schizophrenia. This isn't a good things by any means, however, at least we have a better idea of what's going on with him....

So Emmett has picked up 3 signs so far. He says "more", "please" and "thanks you". So we found something he will eat and that's kosher hotdogs. Not that its a great thing to eat but he's losing weight so it's something. Anyway, Emmett ate his 2 hotdogs and came over to Lizze and signed "more". Lizze asked him what he wanted more of. He responed "more","more" and that's it. Finally he got frustrated and pulled the half chewed up hotdog out of his mouth, stuck it in her face and signed "more". Wow. Just, wow.

Emmett had his first day of "pre-school". He seemed to really like it. I personally have mixed feelings as one of the staff ladies rubbed me the wrong way. However, if they can help him I'll get over it. We are still going to persure better options but until then we feel better knowing he is getting help....

As you know we had to cancel many of the early intervention programs for Emmett due to health concerns that needed to be addressed. We called today to see when we could get him back into the program. They told us this afternoon would be just fine with them. That's a huge relief as we were afraid we would have to wait. We only have a few months left of "early intervention" as he ages out at 3yrs of age. Hopefully this will help him and we can finally start to move forward a little bit.

Lizze met with her new psychiatrist yesterday morning. This is for help with the PTSD and fibromyalgia. She's been waiting forever to get in to see this lady. Appointment goes well until the doctor says that she can cure Lizze or everything inside of 6 months. Now by everything she means PTSD, migraines,fibromyalgia,acid reflux and the sleep disorder hypersomnia. Oh and she claims Lizze doesn't need the hysterectomy either. Now this through up all kids of red flags. To my knowledge there is no cure for PTSD. You can move on or move past it but it will always be there cause you cannot undo what happened. Also there is no cure for fibromyalgia, no one even fully understands wha causes it. So is this lady a quack? She also…
