Between Emmett not sleeping well last night and the really long week, I'm exhausted.

As far as I'm concerned, there are a great many things that I can't fix.  However, tonight I can help my little Emmett John feel safe and comfortable enough to finally sleep.

If he's not doing better, we'll probably have to seriously consider taking him to the ER. He's going to need fluids via IV. You're not going to vomit from IV fluids because they going directly into your blood stream. It's the fastest way to hydrate someone.

There have been plenty of times that I've found myself issuing judgment. When I realize this, I remind myself of the plethora of reasons I don't want to do that.

The big concern right now is fluids. He needs to not only in get them but he also needs to keep them down. Obviously, we're going to have to increase his fluid intake today and with any luck, this will pass without consequence.

If you remember when Gavin had his first and most dangerous Autonomic Crisis, it was triggered by vomiting. That was in May of 2012 and he hasn't vomited since then.

I know in my heart that I'm doing everything I possibly can for my family. I won't let anyone, who hasn't walked a mile in my shoes, get to me. It's easy to read a few posts and think you know better than those on the ground and in the trenches.

One of the things that we want to do is move away from the commercial side of Christmas and teach the kids that the holiday isn't always about getting presents. That being said, we will need to prepare them for that in advance
