An IMPORTANT update about Gavin’s denied MRI

I mentioned yesterday that Gavin's MRI for Wednesday was being denied by insurance. I spoke with the Cleveland Clinic yesterday and they are working on it. Someone is supposed to be calling me back to let me know if it's been worked out. This morning, Lizze found two pieces of mail that had been misplaced but were addressed to Gavin.

I’m overwhelmed and just trying to hold everything together

I'm really stressed out about December. There are so many things going on and I'm afraid I won't be able to pull everything off.

The appointments are mostly Cleveland Clinic trips and there are ten of them before Christmas. These are expensive and the car is in rough shape. At the same time, the trips have to happen. In between all that, we have to figure out Christmas, get a handle on Gavin's aggressive behavior and still make it to all of our regular appointments. We have a total of 20 appointments all together before Christmas Eve. It's incredibly overwhelming because I'm essentially the only driver in our…
