Holy crap.  Gavin has only been home a couple hours and we are already in meltdown #2. He treated Lizze like garbage this weekend and did the same to much of the staff.  Gavin is back to his old self and that's both good and bad. I'm so happy he has stabilized and is home once again.  However,  the whole family could do just fine without the drama and meltdowns. Lizze felt very uncomfortable addressing Gavin's disrespectful behavior this weekend because everything was being monitored via numerous cameras throughout the room.  It was a bad situation but we told Gavin that when we walked out of the hospital,  he had a clean slate. Having said that,  he would be accountable for his actions from that point forward.  I do have…

We just arrived home from the hospital.  Everyone is absolutely exhausted and I can barely keep my eyes open. I'll give you all the details of what was decided and or discovered later on tonight.  **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Gavin jas had his MRI and is ready for discharge. However, things have been delayed because, they had to use a special medication to sedate him because of what they believe are underlying mitochondrial issues. It is taking Gavin forever to wake up.  Once he wakes up,  he can leave. He has not been treating Lizze with much respect,  since he has been feeling better.  That's pretty much the status quo though.  He can be very rude and disrespectful to Lizze.  He says things to her that if I hadn't witnessed myself......, I'm so grateful that he is feeling better but there is no excuse for his behavior,  whether it be at the hospital or at home. Things are going to have to change around here,  starting with attitudes.  I…

I just spoke with Lizze this morning again.  Gavin is scheduled for his MRI at 10:10am this morning.  However,  because of his history of PICA,  they want to do an abdominal X ray first to ensure there are no medal objects in his system that rip through his insides during the MRI. Lizze also explained that Gavin has had a couple episodes of possible apnea.  We don't know the exact cause but his O2 sats dropped to about 80%.  Lizze had to physically shake him and make him take a deep breath before his sats returned to normal.  We have no idea what happened but it's possible that this could cause a delay in his return home.  In this case. I would be all for a delay because,  we don't…

Gavin should be coming home at some point today.  We will know more around 8am.  Elliott is beside himself with excitement over the thought of seeing his big brother. My guess is that he will be released sometime this afternoon. I think that they still want to do an MRI before he leaves. I'm not exactly sure what they are looking for but I'm sure there is a reason. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.

Gavin should finally get released today. I don't know what time though. It will be really nice to have our family whole again. Gavin has had a rough 6 days and I'm looking forward to putting this all behind us. Thank you so much for all your love and support during this difficult time.? **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S III.
