It may look like vomit now…..but…

Lost and Tired — Sat, 25 May 2013 19:15:07 +0000

So I’m running around today trying to get a bunch of things done. Lizze just woke up and so I have a few minutes to myself. I have been working on a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup for most of the day. It may look like vomit now and…..well…it does, but it will …

I’m completely buried and at my breaking point

Lost and Tired — Sat, 25 May 2013 16:12:58 +0000

Update: Sorry about the multiple posts. I told you my phone wasn’t working right. I deleted the extra uploads that took place. I’m completely buried right now. Something I haven’t really been talking about much lately is how Lizze is doing. Typically, I don’t like to speak for her because she has her own blog …

What the hell happened yesterday?

Lost and Tired — Sat, 25 May 2013 15:11:00 +0000

While it’s a bit overdue, I wanted to share what happened when we met with Dr. Clark yesterday at Akron Children’s Hospital. Basically, our purpose is going was to find out if the fact that Gavin’s brain is improperly controlling his heart, has a negative impact on his heart itself. Does that make sense? We …

Gavin is a proud Sonic the Hedgehog fan

Lost and Tired — Sat, 25 May 2013 14:02:00 +0000

While we were at the doctors yesterday, Gavin kept making it a point to show everyone his prized Sonic the Hedgehog shirt. At points it was really awkward because he would just sorta blurt out random comments about his shirt. Everyone at the heart center indulged him and made him feel really good. I promised …

Do your kids wake up at Godawful hours?

Lost and Tired — Sat, 25 May 2013 12:46:20 +0000

For the past few days, Elliott and Emmett have been waking up at about 4am and not going back to bed. This means that I also have to at least stay awake because we don’t want them wandering around the house. Do you guys experience this as well? This has only actually been happening since …

Technology hates me this week :-(

This site is really fighting me anymore. It’s like the powers that be are conspiring to make things as difficult as humanly possible. In the last year, I’ve had to change servers twice and it looks like I need to do so once again. Our internet was shut off earlier this week because we are …

Just a quick and important update

Lost and Tired — Fri, 24 May 2013 22:27:00 +0000

I wanted to let everyone know that Gavin’s appointment with his cardiologist went really, really well. His hearts in good shape and that’s a really good thing. Later on, I’ll explain in more detail. Right now, I’m exhausted and Lizze is in really bad shape. When things settle a bit, I’ll try and catch everyone …

Who has #Autism and Potty Training Questions?

Lost and Tired — Fri, 24 May 2013 21:08:31 +0000

#Autism and Potty Training I’m quite frequently asked about secrets, tips and tricks to how I got my 3 boys with Autism potty trained. I usually answer with something like this: “In a word, patience. It takes lots, and lots of patience. However, in truth, my boys were pretty easy, so I’m not …

We’ve arrived @AkronChildrens Heart Center 05/24/2013

Lost and Tired — Fri, 24 May 2013 16:47:57 +0000

We have made it to our appointment, without incident. Right after getting on the freeway, Gavin’s heart rate kept bouncing between the low 60′s and the low 120′s. This made us nervous because that means that his body isn’t coping with the car ride very well today and we need to watch him closely.. Thankfully, …

Our 4th and final trip to @AkronChildrens this week is the most important yet

In but a few hours, we will be making the trip to the Akron Children’s Hospital Heart Center. We will be meeting with Dr. Clark, one of the top pediatric cardiologists in the country. The subject today will be Gavin’s ongoing heart rate issues. Going into this, I am aware that this will be an …
