This week marks another step towards getting Emmett back to school full time. As of bedtime, he was maintaining a positive outlook and I’m so proud of him for that. The plan for this week is to stay at school for 2 – 2.5 hours before I come pick him up. I think he’s going …

We finally have a workable plan, at least in theory, to help Emmett get back to school. Again, this is a nonperfect approach to a very challenging and fluid situation, but it’s a plan nonetheless. Emmett is dealing with some very serious emotional challenges right now and it’s interfering with every aspect of his life, …

Just a quick update on Emmett. I haven’t heard anything from the school as to what our options are. I did talk to his therapist tonight and our goal is to get him back into the classroom but we also recognize that this will likely be a process. Right now the plan is at home …

They’ve been very supportive and I can’t say how appreciative of that I am. Emmett is not in a good place emotionally and his meds were updated …

It’s been a very challenging day for me as a parent but especially for Emmett. He needs all the love and support we can muster so please send them his way. I really appreciate it. That said, I wanted to try and focus on the positive and share an update about something I apparently forgot …

The boys had an emotional therapy session last night. Gavin didn’t participate outside of briefing us on his rather bizarre missions he’s been going on lately. Frankly, it was weird and kind of uncomfortable to listen to. Elliott and Emmett had some things that were upsetting them. These were things that I couldn’t help with …
