The game plan for the rest of the day is phone calls. I need to get the results of Gavin's EEG and find out why his new IVIG Infusion Pump didn't show up last week. Unfortunately, after getting home from the appointments this morning, I crashed for a couple hours. I was up with Elliott until well after 3 AM. Elliott however, never fell asleep himself but took a nap this morning. I'm off to a later start now but it shouldn't prevent me from collecting the information I need in regards to Gavin's Immunodeficiency and Epilepsy concerns. I just need to be a phone ninja and get it all done.

Well it's quite obvious why school was canceled today. The roads are complete shit and we had a very difficult time simply breaking through the ice to get inside the car. We did safely make it to his appointment and everything went well. The only thing worth mentioning is that we go back in 30 days to do the paperwork required to maintain guardianship over Gavin after his 18th this month. I'll talk more about that later. Now we're off to get his bloodwork done.

We have quite a bit going on this week and it all begins on Monday. After we get the boys off to school, I have to take Lizze and Gavin for bloodwork. Lizze's labs are routine in nature and Gavin's are so we can get his next refill of Clozapine on Wednesday. I guess it's sorta routine but it's much different in nature than Lizze's. Anyway, after that, Gavin has an appointment with his psychiatrist. This is for the sole purpose of seeing how a Gavin's labs have been and if we can safely continue the Clozapine. I'm not expecting anything unexpected because if his labs were bad, we'd already know about it. After we finish up with that, Lizze has to go to the mall and get her wedding…

Gavin's been spending too much time playing games on his tablet. Right now he's playing a game that talks about the 7 wonders of the world and Gavin wanted to learn more about them in real life. I suggested that he research one of them each day and write a brief essay about it. I told him that I really wanted to learn about them and he could teach me all about them when he's done researching. He took that and ran with it. Below you will find his essay from today. I'm not quite sure what are his words vs what he copied from the internet. Gavin is very limited cognitively and things like this aren't easy for him. It's really important to encourage him to try anyway because…
