Gavin’s had a rougher day thus far. He seems to be on edge, but there’s no apparent reason why and if you ask him, he says he’s fine. He had his IVIG Infusion this morning, and per the current norm, he did it all by himself. Unfortunately, he ran into a few snags and rather …

The weird things my son with #Autism says
The things I talk about in this post are not meant to be disrespectful for Gavin. If you’re an Autism parent, you’ll probably have at least some experience with your kid saying something weird in front of someone in public. They don’t mean anything by it.

My son is missing his critical medications for the month
A large part of my stress load today is the result of Gavin’s IVIG supplies never showing up.

I love having the boys home but I hate these four-day weekends because they totally throw me off the following week. All day today I thought it was Sunday because the boys were home from school. I’ll end up being a day off for most of the week. 😁 Putting that aside, I think we …

We had such and awesome day today
We had a really awesome day. Aside from a few hiccups discussed in an earlier post, by all accounts we had a great day. Lizze and I took the boys walking again today, right before dinner. Unfortunately, we were competing with dusk and had to cut our walk short but I took all that into …

Very Important Update About Gavin
It’s been a trying day but I’ve learned one thing that I believe I can say with absolute confidence, Gavin off of Lithium is NOT a good thing. I’m sure Lizze will put her two cents in at some point but having discussed this last night, I know she agrees. I suppose I should clarify …
