We had a change of plans this morning. Lizze, normally takes Gavin to his IVIG Infusion every month. Typically, it's easier for her to sit with Gavin for the 4 or 5 hours that he's in the infusion lab than stay at home wrangling Emmett. Unfortunately,  she can barely move today.  Yesterday morning she fell down the steps and bruised herself up pretty bad.  She called her mom and explained that she couldn't take Gavin today.  Here mom didn't even hesitate to fill that role today and escort Gavin to his treatment today. We are so lucky that we have a support system in place for these types of situations.  Lizze and I are both endlessly grateful for the love and support of our parents.  Without them, I don't what…

I wish that Elliott and Emmett's would get along today.  Some of the problem is Emmett's button pushing and some of the problem is Elliott's very limited threshold for frustration. Putting the two together makes for a very volatile day.  They have actually done fairly well this evening,  only having one major blow out between them. Elliott finished his homework in record time and Emmett got ready for bed with minimal headache.  I'm making a conscience choice to try and focus on the victories,  even if they are small ones. Having said that,  despite my trying day, we have a couple victories to celebrate.  You know,  Elliott got off to school without so much as a whimper today and that's awesome.  Emmett even allowed me to take Elliott to school…

Lizze was up all night with fibro induced insomnia,  again.  Early the morning I was awoken to Lizze's screaming and Elliott and Emmett's crying.  Moments before I awoke,  Lizze had fallen down the stairs as was screaming in pain.  The boys were crying, because they had witnessed her fall. I don't think she needs the hospital because the fall wasn't bad.  Having said that, she's out of commission for the day. I was up with her as long as I could last night, so I'm exhausted and do barely able to keep my eyes open.

It's about 2am and Lizze is in too much pain to sleep. I have a hard time falling asleep when I know she's not able to sleep.  So,  here I am at 2am, writing about not being able to sleep.  Right now, the stress and especially the weather is caused a really bad fibro flare and Lizze just can't shake it.  Mindless reality TV on Netflix......here we come.  This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.
