So Gavin brought something home that he had been working on at school. I didn’t realize just how big this was, until I saw him unfold this thing. 

Gavin has a been in a very long term relationship with all things Sonic the Hedgehog for as long as I can remember.

He created this work of art to decorate his bedroom door.

He was anxious for pictures to be taken and displayed on my blog.  Please feel free to leave your positive feedback in the comments below.  He loves to read what you folks think of his creations.  :-)

Gavin has had a really good day.  When he puts all his energy to good use,  than he can accomplish pretty amazing things.

Today he focused his energy on his drawing. 

As you likely already know,  he is obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog and has been for most of his life.

Today he drew some game cases for two different Sonic games.  He did these freehand and nothing was traced. I think this is really impressive,  especially considering how much his hands shake anymore. 

Great job Gavin,  you had a great day and drew some great pictures.  :-)

I wanted to share with you all Elliott’s latest work of art.  He was playing with Play-Doh this afternoon and sculpted a turtle. 

He did a really good job and I’m very impressed with the level of detail in this piece.

Oddly enough,  he never named it,  which is,  well…you know…..odd. He always names things that he creates.  Maybe he did and I just missed it.  :-)

The boys were playing with Play-Doh this afternoon.  Elliott created this fine piece of art.  It’s a chameleon,  you might miss it if you don’t look carefully.  ;-)

I thought that was pretty darn creative. Nice job Elliott.

Another day another meltdown

It’s no secret that this week has been crazy.  Unfortunately,  at least for me,  it’s only going to get crazier because I’ll have Elliott and Emmett for the next 3 days.  Lizze and Gavin will be at Akron Children’s Hospital for Gavin’s 72 hour VEEG, swallow test and tremor work up.

I’ll be at home chasing 2 little boys with #Autism that don’t seem to get along right now. 

Lizze will be with Gavin because it’s easier for her than staying at home with the other 2 boys.

I mentioned yesterday that I screwed my knee up pretty bad while at the Cleveland Clinic.  I just stepped funny and bam..instant pain.

Anyway,  Gavin is not having a good day. He’s had several smaller meltdowns already and he’s simply not listening to anyone. I know he had a trying day yesterday but he still has to follow the rules and be safe around his brothers. 

It’s going to be a really long day and while I love having out with my boys, I’m not looking forward to this weekend. I just don’t have the energy or ability to walk and both of those things are prerequisites to watching to challenging little boys.

#Autism and Autonomic Testing: Q-Sweat testing

Categories:

Gavin is getting set up for what’s called the Q-Sweat test. Basically,  they use electrodes placed on his arm,  leg,  ankle and foot.  They send a small electronical current to these four locations and stimulates sweat production. 

There are also little tubes attached to the same area that collect up any sweat produced and sends it to a special machine for analysis.

Gavin is doing well with this test as it can be uncomfortable.

Ironically,  while they were calibrating the electrical current in his ankle,  it triggered a crazy amount of sweat in that location.  This has actually caused a problem and delayed the test. 

Apparently,  this is unusual and we aren’t sure why this is happening,  at least to this degree.

#Autism and Autonomic Testing: Packing our bags

Categories:

Nothing ever goes smoothly in the Lost and Tired family.  So when Gavin has to be at the Cleveland Clinic for autonomic testing,  we’re packing our bags,  just in case.

Gavin is already unstable and the drive alone is going to be a challenge.  We were in the car for 20 minutes yesterday before his blood pressure suddenly crashed. He got sick to his stomach,  pale as a ghost and physically, couldn’t hold himself upright.

On a good day,  we can make it to Cleveland in a little over an hour.

Because of Gavin’s sensitivity to everything right now,  we are preparing for the worst.

I’m packing a 5 gallon bucket for him to puke in and several changes of clothes for him,  ya know,  if he misses. Lizze has packed her bags as well because of our concern that he may have to be admitted after the testing. It took 3 days to stabilize him after his last EEG. The difference is that this time we will be 1.5 hours away.

We’re trying to remain positive about this but also realistic as well. I would rather plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers,  we’re gonna need them today.
