A trip to the E.R. and one sad boy....

Well, when Avery got home from school yesterday, apparently he wasn't feeling well. I had gone to the gym and when I had returned, he had been throwing up. As time went on, it got worse, more projectile and diarhea as well....Great. I have never seen so much "stuff" come out of one person. At 11:30 pm, after trying everything I could think of to give him some releif, I decided to call our dr. on call. He said it sounded like he might be getting dehyrated and it wouldnt hurt to take him in. Soooo, off we go. Grandpa was great to come and stay with Emmy. Jared was at work. All I kept thinking was "swine flu". He was extremely anxious which made things worse and he was exausted (me too) at that point. After sitting in the E.R. until 2:30 am we finally got some releif. He was given a disolvable pill that would stop the nausea and from their we were debating an IV but he was able to keep some liquids down so we got to go home. We still dont know if it was something he ate or if it was a virus. At least it wasnt swine flu.

The worst part is that he is going to miss his Sports Day today. It like a little "special olympics" for his school district and he was looking so foward to it.
Oh, well. Whattya do? Cant have diarhea while running a race. He's disappointed.

Ave and Tori

Avery made a new friend!!!! Every once in a while he attaches himself to someone and its instant attraction. We took a recent trip to Disneyland with my cuz Stacey and her girls. Oh, did we have a time!! Avery took to Tori right away. All the girls were really cute with him. He was in seventh heaven. But somethin about Tori. They were constantly chattin in the back seat about kickin each others' butts and singing songs and giving kisses, It just went on and on. They rode the majority of rides together too at Disney. He's only met and been around Tori a couple times in his life. It was love at first sight. I was talking to Stace on the phone last night and Avery was in the bg saying "I wanna talk to Tori!!!" SO we put em on the phone and wow, it went on and on for a while. I could hear him saying, "Im gonna kick your butt Tori then you can kick my butt." Then he was talking about Woody and Handy Manny. Next think I know, he's heading for the bathroom with phone in hand. At that point I took the phone and told Tori, he was doing his business and had to get off the phone now...We were both laughing...Hes so funny. Here's a pic of them in the back seat being silly!!!

More of our nightly routine with Ave

Im sure you recall the pics of Ave and all his characters that get tucked in with him at night, well lately theres more to the ritual. Last night, I was so tickled with him I had to post this. I tuck him in for the night with his spidey/woody's and his Wall-e light on. I usually go right to bed and from his room he tells me he loves me and we blow kisses to each other from our rooms at least twice. At this time he gets out of bed and makes sure my door is open and is touching the wall. Well last night, after he checks the door he came over to my bed to kiss me goodnight some more. I had had the covers off of me cuz I was hot and he proceded to "tuck me in" by putting the covers on me and kissing me some more. Oh, I love him. He makes me laugh.

FX Ramblings...

So Ive come across an amazing community/support website for familys affected by Fragile X and there's alot of moms with alot of funny stories on there not to mention very helpful advice and encouraging words. Most of them have blogs that I've been following lately and decided I need to be writing and sharing some of my FX moments.
This was the conversation of the hour:
Avery: call Parker's mom.
Me: I called her yesterday and she hasn't called me back yet.
Avery: call her again.
Me: maybe later.
Avery: no, now.
Me: Fine.
Me: She said it was ok for him to come over tomorrow and play at 1:00.
Avery: OK
Avery: I will go and wait for him on the porch.
Me: He's not coming over until tomorrow.
Avery: Oh, Ok
Avery: Call his mom again and ask her to bring him at 4:00 today.
Me: No, he's coming tomorrow.
Avery: Not tomorrow, today.
Me: Tomorrow Avery.
Avery: Not tomorrow, today.
Me: He will come tomorrow and you can ride your bikes.
Avery: Ok
Avery: Can I go to Parkers house.
Me: No Avery, hes coming tomorrow.
Avery: Not tomorrow, today.
Me: Avery, lets watch SpongeBob.

I left the room.

I must have 20 or more conversations like this a day. He very rarely gets upset to the point of a tantrum, its just the repetitiveness that is tiring.

Havin' fun with Grandpa...

Grandpa and the kids were out passing some time waiting for Daddy to get home so we could go to our Tuesday night dinner. I caught a few snapshots of them throwing snowballs at each other.

Here's the latest...

Here's the latest on Mr. Gavin!!! He's already starting to change! I can't believe it!! I can't wait until I get to see him again!! He got this cute hat from Grandpa Jim for Christmas.

Gavin Robert Carroll is here...

Gavin was born on Dec.6,2008 at 3:07am. He is such a doll baby. We love him. Emmy is in seventh heaven when she holds him. She's so cute with him and so is Ave. It took a while for him to warm up to him but now he's quite the helper. Nat and Rob are going to be great parents. Here's a few pics of the sweet-sweet.
