Gavin / IVIG Infusion

Gavin had his IVIG infusion this morning and here’s how it went

"Gavin had a really good IVIG infusion this morning. He's gaining a little bit of weight so there's more body fat on his tummy to make needle placement less painful."

My thoughts

I’m ready to call it a night and it’s only 7am

My thoughts

This #Autism Dad is really trying to remain positive but it’s not going so well 

There's so little help available for parents of special needs kids. There's a massive shortfall in the availability of services needed for the Autism or special needs children themselves. Parents are even further down the ladder.

My thoughts

This #Autism Dad just wants some peace and quiet 

"Personally, I'm just looking forward to a quiet house. Between Gavin's constant repetitive talking and the boys fighting over evening, I just need some quiet."

Survival mode happens when your brain and body stay stuck in a constant state of alert. It’s what happens after years of stress, uncertainty, and caregiving where rest never feels safe. I’d love to get a better idea of who all is here so I can better support everyone. If you’re a parent raising a kid with autism or any other disability, please listen up. I know how hard life is or how hard life can be. I know with everything going on it makes it even harder and scarier and more overwhelming.
