I was able to get a hold of Gavin’s psychiatrist’s office this afternoon and got the lab results from his blood draw on Monday morning. I actually only got his Absolute Neutrophil count but that’s a good chunk of information. His Absolute Neutrophil count has climbed up a couple points from 2.0 to 2.4. This …

I managed to get everything done this morning that needed done. Gavin’s labs have been drawn and now all we can do is wait for the results to come in. To say that I’m on edge is an understament because I’m freaking out at this point. I don’t know whether things have improved or gotten …

We have a plan of attack for how to deal with Gavin’s current mental and physical health problems, at least temporarily.

I’m waiting to hear back from the doctor in regards to Gavin’s lab results. The only way I can explain how excruciating this wait is for would be to relate it to a young child on Christmas Eve. Maybe that’s a bad example. It’s not the excitement but rather the extreme anxiety of knowing it’s …

I received a phone call this morning from Dr. Reynolds office. I assumed they were calling to move our appointment again but I was wrong. Apparently, Gavin’s labs from yesterday came in and his numbers are dropping again. Right before we left for Florida, he had labs drawn. His Absolute Neutrophil was 3 and his …
