It’s just the 2 of us

Lizze is staying home with Elliott tonight cause he's not been feeling well. Emmett and I are off to see Dr. Pattie. I left Gavin at home because honestly, I need a break from him today. I'll talk more about that later. Emmett and ran an errand before heading to therapy but it was really nice spending time with just him... ☺

Elliott’s absolutely miserable

Poor Elliott has been up all night because he's not feeling well. We're suspecting Strep throat but we're going to see how he's doing today before taking him in. His throat began hurting yesterday evening and it's progressively gotten worse. He's running a lower grade fever but that doesn't necessarily mean anything because we believe he has the same fever disorder Emmett has. He's almost always running at least a low-grade fever. Hopefully, he feels better as the day goes on. Please keep Elliott in your thoughts today, he's truly miserable..

How it all began

It's been a great day and I'm going to bed tonight, feeling extremely accomplished.. ☺ I have spent a great deal of time, working on something very important to me and I hope you'll find it interesting as well. I have successfully merged over 7,000 posts from Lost and Tired, dating all the way back to January, 2010. That's where it all began. Our complete story is now accessible on this blog. You can click here, to begin reading from the very beginning. In my tenur, I've written and published over 11,000 posts and articles. Putting this together was a monumental undertaking, partly because of the enormous database but also because it was incredibly tedious. I will say that there is a gap between June of 2014 and August of…

Fabulous morning

It's been a good morning here in The Autism Dad household. The boys got off to school without an trouble and I even got in a morning walk. It's 35°F but it didn't feel that way at all. The sun is out and it's truly a gorgeous start to the week. I'm hoping this will help to ensure we all get off the right foot this week. I wish we had more mornings like this.. ☺ Oh... On a side note, I've lost another .2 lbs at today's weigh-in. That takes me to a grand total of 13.9 lbs in the last two months. ☺

I’m suddenly not feeling well

All of a sudden, I've started not feeling well. It's not really anything new and it's probably still the Paxil related stuff because it still is impacting me. On one hand, it sucks to feel like this all the time. On the other hand, things do seem to be getting better, albeit slowly. I simply need some down time to regroup and work through the nausea. I also need to seriously pound some water and make sure I'm properly hydrated. At this point, I'm miserable but I'm so incredibly grateful to have made it this far. I'm working through this and truly hope to keep making progress until I come out the other end of this tunnel. I'm still not anti-medication and I still recognize how important these types of…

It was just the guys today

Lizze has been out with her Mom all day and that means it's just been us. We spent the afternoon watching the Cavs beat the Pacers, we decided to go to the park. The boys went exploring and Pokémon hunting. Gavin wandered around aimlessly for a little while but had fun. Spring is definitely out in full force here in Ohio. All I need to do now is figure out dinner. I've no idea what we're gonna do for dinner. No one can agree on anything and I'm not in the mood for this much indecision.... 😳 [foogallery id="79481"]

A Gavin Update: It’s fricking exhausting

Gavin's been spending more and more time, locked away in his room lately. Some of this time revolves around his tablet and some of it around missions. He's not really talking about his missions a whole lot anymore. The last time he said something about them, was a few days ago and it'd been awhile before that. It's difficult to really grasp exactly what's going on with Gavin because while he talks constantly, it's not usually about anything meaningful. He never talks much about how he feels but instead talks a great deal about the games on his tablet. In fact, I don't think he knows how to talk about anything else. After the race yesterday, my parents wanted to treat everyone to some ice cream. It was the five…
