We just found Gavin crying in his room. He has been seeing things all night. Apparently he saw a "rat face" in his door way.

ER is glad Gavin is home but is frustrated at the same time. Gavin isn't the easiest kid to play with. Gavin is always easily frustrated and now is no different. ER is trying to connect on some…

Gavin should be ready to come home in the morning. He has been doing really well and his meds seem to be working. We spoke with him tonight however, and he was extremely upset. He was some how under the impression we were coming to see him tonight. Lizze and I never said we were coming or even mentioned anything about it. Anyway, he was waiting for us all night and we never showed up. He felt abandoned and lied to. He clearly believed we were going to be there for some reason.
