Emmett John is hiding from me. Do you know where he is? LT Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

We just got back and the movie was good. Gavin would have never have made it through the first 20 mins. Way to intense for an aspergers child with anxiety issues. We have been doing this for so long now we look at each other at the same time and say Gavin would be freaking out right now. As a special needs parent knowing your child's limitations become second. We don't even realize we are doing it most of the time. I think it's one of those things nature adds to our pile of resources. Lizze and I both knew we made a good choice to send Gavin somewhere else after the movie was done. Elliott Richard and Emmett John were fine. Er made it through the whole movie and…

We are off to see Toy Story 3. Gavin is on his way with Grandpa to go visit Great Grandma Gene. Gavin cannot sit through a movie at the theater (probably a sensory related thing) so it really is unfair of us to make him go just so we can all do something as a family. He'll have a blast with Grandpa so I don't feel so bad. Maybe I'll try to get him to a dollar movie this summer and see how he does. I would love to see a movie with him again. The last one we went to was "Over The Hedge" and Gavin was freaked out by the "hedge" not the scary bear. We get up and leave every time. But I like trying every once…

Elliott fell asleep awhile ago but I just can't get comfortable on this couch. Watching the fish hoping to fall asleep but it's not working. You get to a point when you are so tired but yo can't sleep. Sounds funny but it's true. Good night, hopefully LT Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

Well today has come and gone and I find myself on the couch with Elliott Richard. He has been struggling tonight. I think his allergies are raging right now. Lizze ran out to get some allergy meds. Emmett John had a low key birthday. No one called or stopped by. We are going to Toy Story 3 on Sunday. Gavin is going to visit Great Grandma Gene. Gavin won't sit through the movie so it works out well. Gavin actually had a pretty good day. Lizze and I took turns sleeping today. Doesn't look like tonight is going to be any better.

In about an hour and a half (1.5hrs) Emmett John will turn 2. While our journey thus far has been challenging to say the least. It has also be wonderful beyond words. At this time 2 years ago the NICU team was arriving and everyone was getting ready. Lizze and I were terrified something was going to happen like it did with Elliott Richard. Everything went smooth and Emmett John came into this world perfectly. My amazing wife spent 8 months on bedrest to keep him safe. This is her day as well. Happy Birrthday Emmett John. I love you.

-Disclaimer for Trisha- don't read this if you are going to be eating. I guess that would apply to all. So Gavin has been having GI issues. Dr. H has us keeping tabs every time he goes potty. We have to see it before he flushes. We also keep a food log of what he's eating as well. Gavin had another GI "episode" today. So I asked him if he has been eating anything that we haven't given him to eat? He began nervously pacing so I knew this wasn't going to be good. So I start questioning him. What are you eating? He says "nothing". Eventually he says he has been eating paper. So we start the process again. What else have you been eating, I asked? "Nothing" he…
