It’s been a really challenging day for about a million reasons. I was going to touch on some of those reasons but yet another issue has made itself known and this is going to be the priority until I know otherwise. Gavin is running what is a low grade fever for him. He’s very much …

A long overdue update and a request for thoughts and prayers
I’m burning the candle at both ends. I’m sleep deprived and not running on all cylinders. Emmett’s really struggling right now and last night he was in crisis. It’s not something I will go into details about but I’m currently working with Akron Children’s, his therapist and his mother to do whatever we can to …

Gavin’s in the hospital and here’s what happened
As I’m writing this, I’m sitting on the floor at the hospital, because Gavin was rushed here by ambulance tonight. We aren’t entirely sure what’s going on. He’s stable but in rough shape. We suspect it’s a reaction to his meds. I had actually recorded a pod this morning and talked about what’s going on …

I’m in Urgent Care
I was trying to wait until I see my doctor in the morning but my back has gotten too bad. It’s making me physically ill and I won’t make it until tomorrow. My parents have the kids and we’re waiting to be called back. To be honest, it’s pretty gross and extremely painful. I’m nauseated …

A couple things but first, we need some thoughts and prayers
There’s quite a bit that happened today but only some of it I’m going to write about. There’s no major reason for excluding anything other than I’m tired and want to focus on the main things. We were supposed to take Gavin for his bloodwork this morning but he was in rough shape when he …
