You may recall that I had to get Lizze to the Cleveland Clinic very early today, and because of that, the kids spent the night with their grandparents. I also previously mentioned that Lizze and I were going to have an official date night last night, something we rarely get to do. We sometimes grab …

It’s been a long day. It’s been a very, very long day and my anxiety is through the roof. Between Emmett and his fricking pick eye and Gavin with his incessant talking, and psychosis, I’m frazzled. Emmett has had two rounds of eye drops and should be able to return to school on Wednesday. He’s …

It was my Dad’s surprise 65th birthday. My Mom arranged for a family dinner at PF Changs. This is a pretty nice restaurant and …

I mentioned in a previous post that something happened yesterday while at Gavin’s hematology appointment. Akron Children’s Hospital was great, they always are. You have to understand something before we go any further. This appointment took place where Gavin used to receive his IVIG infusions. We’re very familiar with this place after years of visits. …

It’s been a massively stressful day because our three day weekend evolved into a five day weekend and it’s been tough for everyone. Kids with Autism tend to struggle with change to routine and my kids are no exception. They were still adjusting to the new school year and haven’t even been back for two …
