I meant to share this eariler

I meant to share this eariler but forgot. As you already know, Gavin went to bed last night not feel good at all. He was miserable and trying not to vomit. This has been happening on and off for a week or two. I've no idea what's going on. Thankfully, he's feeling much better today. In fact, it's like he was never feeling bad in the first place. Rather than drive myself crazy crazier by trying to figure this out, I'm going to embrace the fact that he's feeling better and roll with it.

My thoughts

The kids have left the building

The boys have left to spend the day with their Grandparents. I think they're going swimming and they'll enjoy that. Lizze and I are going to just relax this afternoon. Perhaps we'll go for a walk or something later on. We do have a few things we need to get done in order to be ready for the new school week. I'm looking forward to a quiet day.

My Crazy Neighborhood

Woke to gunshots

I managed to fall asleep last night but awoke to gunshots outside. Assuming I woke up after the first shot, there was a a series of roughly ten or eleven that followed. I'm not sure how close they were to our house but they sounded too close for comfort. Thankfully, I was the only one who woke up. Sleeping after the gunshots wasn't easy because I kept thinking about how we need to move away from all this nonsense. 🙁

Emmett John / My thoughts / Today's Victory

Emmett’s MAJOR victory

My parents sent Lizze and I to Outback for dinner on my birthday. It was amazing and we are so grateful for the time away. While lunch was awesome, I couldn't finish it. I brought home about 20 oz of a 24 oz ribeye steak in a take home box. Emmett has been into beef lately, but only under certain conditions. Those conditions seem to be in flux all the time but I thought I would offer him some steak and see if he'd at least try it. Over the next two days, Emmett ate every last piece of that 20 oz ribeye, all by himself. I was thrilled that he ate that because it's different than what he normally eats and that feels good to see. ☺ I wish…

Gavin / My thoughts

Gavin’s not doing good tonight

Unfortunately, Gavin is having a really rough night. He's not been able to fall asleep because he's not feeling well. The poor kid is battling tummy issues once again. He came downstairs a couple of times because his stomach hurt and he felt like he was going to vomit. I wish I knew what was going on because he's absolutely miserable. The only thing we can do is give him a Zofran and hope that eliminates the nausea. I'm not sure what's causing this but it's happening quite a bit over the last week or so. I don't know if he's dealing with a stomach bug or if it's something he's eating. Part of my concern is that I never got his lab results from Friday. I have no idea…

Elliott / Fit4Autism / Gavin / My thoughts

He doesn’t remember and that’s concerning

We made a spontaneous trip to the park. Elliott decided he wanted to walk the track and I jumped at the opportunity. Gavin wanted to come along with us but I was concerned about his hip. I asked him if he thought his hip would be okay during the walk. He looked at me like I had two heads and said that his hips never hurt. At first I thought he was joking but it turns out he's serious. He doesn't remember ever having issues with his hips while we were walking. I can't tell you how many times he's had issues with his hips while on a walk. The fact that he doesn't remember is a bit concerning. He came with us and ended up doing okay, but we…

The McKinley Monument

I meant to share this a little while back but life happened. I took this while walking at the McKinley Monument. I thought it might be interesting for those who've never seen it before. ☺

Gavin’s latest Lego Creation

Gavin's been hard at work on a new Lego creation today. It's been a long time since he's been creative like this and I'm thrilled to share a couple pictures with you, per Gavin's request. ☺ He's calling this one that Clone Trooper Star Fighter. Can't imagine where the inspiration came from. 😁
