My heart is breaking for Gavin
Poor Gavin is not having a good day. My heart is breaking for him.

So Gavin's doctor called to tell me that he qualifies for Make a Wish.... This is what's happening
We finally made it home from the Cleveland Clinic
It seems like the world is conspiring to make us late to Gavin's pediatric neurology appointment at the Cleveland Clinic. Here's what's happened..
I mentioned earlier that we were all excited because Gavin got new tubing for his IVIG Infusions that have historically reduced the infusion times significantly.. Unfortunately, that didn't prove to be the case today. In fact, his infusion took almost 3 hours to complete and that's pretty close to the record for longest infusions I can remember. It was also really uncomfortable for him as well. He did manage to hold up really well but this sorta killed the excitement of the new tubing. It's possible it was just a bad placement of the needles and we'll see how things go on Fridays morning.
Tonight's posts will have to do with some changes that are coming. The two changes that will be discussed, beginning with this post and ending in the follow up a few hours later, should bring about positive results. In this post, I wanted to share a change that is being made to Gavin's biweekly IVIG infusions that should improve his experience. Let's get everyone caught up. For starters, why is Gavin on IVIG and what does it do? I'd have to look back for the exact date but roughly 4 years ago, it was discovered that for some unknown reason, Gavin's immune system had become permanently and severely compromised.

I was so distracted by the events of yesterday that I failed to share how the actual appointment went for both Elliott and Gavin. The good news is that both boys are doing really well. Elliott was there for a food allergy and asthma follow up. His asthma is very much under control and he did quite well in his peak flow testing. There's not really much to be done with his food allergy because we avoid almonds all together and so there really isn't any point in blood work. Elliott was so anxious that our Doctor simply said that when he's ready to find out if he's still allergic to almonds, we can do blood work. Until that time, we just stay the course. She's very good with the…
