I’ve not talked about this in a while but as it’s become a problem once again, it’s time. Gavin is losing weight after maintaining for a most of the year. He’s not losing crazy amounts of weight but he’s lost all he’s gained. We have an upcoming GI appointment and we’re going to discuss the …

Gavin’s appointment at the always amazing Akron Children’s Hospital went very well. Most of his gastro symptoms have subsided, and he does not require regular medication in that area of his life.

This is really just a follow-up because there’s some lingering questions surrounding the results of his endoscopy and colonoscopy. I don’t think it’s anything serious but we need to discuss it. There are …

It’s going to be a seriously busy week and it’s going to involve a great deal of driving. Elliott has an appointment at Akron Children’s Hospital in the morning. This is for a medication check with the behavioral health center. The drive will likely be longer than the actual appointment but it is what it …
