When you have a special needs child like Gavin your social life goes out the window. I consider myself lucky if I get to watch Law in Order that was DVR'd a week ago. Most of our friends and some of our family are already gone. No one understands that you can't just get a sitter or that it's not a good idea to bring Gavin to whatever is going on. In order to get a sitter we have to keep in mind what Gavin my be like while your gone. We usually try to send Elliott Richard and Emmett John to one place while Gavin goes somewhere else. We are never comfortable sending all the kids to the same place (except in emergencies). If we can barely handle Gavin…

We are enjoying some quiet time around the house with the kids while Gavin is sick. When Gavin is sick he tends to sleep through the day. This gives us a break from all that he can entail. I know that sounds bad to most people but I know some of you out there understand exactly what I mean. We don't want him sick but we will still take advantage of the reprieve we get while he sleeps.

Well I finished my steroid cycle for my back and sadly it didn't work. My doctor will only let me do this once a year because the steroid that reduces the inflammation also destroys the rest of my cartilage in the process. So I am left with my muscle relaxers. Hopefully they can relax the muscle enough to relieve some of the pain caused by compensating for my left side. Lost and Tired

I have decided to move my blog from blogger to here. My wife was locked out of her "Award Winning" blog today for what they claimed was terms of service violations. She has had that blog for 4 or 5 years and never violated anything. We believe someone filed a complaint as a "passive aggressive" attack. Anyway, she will be moving here also and when she is up and running I'll share the link. Thanks for following Lost and Tired

It has been a few days since I have been on here. Lizze is still recovering surgery. She is actually having a pretty rough time right now. She is in a tremendous amount of pain. The fact she has fybro. complicates things alot. You can think of it like this, her body interprets EVERYTHING as pain on a normal day. So the pain from surgery is exponentioally greater. She is having in there as usual. She is a strongest person I have ever met.Gavin is Gavin. I met with the teachers and principle again the other day to discuss our concerns. I actually walked away feeling better about the situation instead of wanting to beat my head into the wall. The teachers are catching on and responding well to the…
