I’m desperately trying to change the course of our day for the better. The boys want to go back to Quail Hollow and go hiking today. I don’t exactly feel up to doing that and I know Lizze is still a bit under the weather. Having said that, it’s a very positive activity and it …

How a tiny brown bat helped me teach my kids a valuable life lesson
We had a pretty good day in our little corner of the world. The boys went to a cookout with Lizze’s parents, Lizze rested because of a really bad migraine and I hung out with Gavin. This whole thing with Gavin sucks but we’re making the best of it. In an effort to make Gavin’s …

It’s completely reasonable to assume that with every missed infusion, the risks to Gavin’s health increase. We don’t know …

Guy Time at Quail Hollow with my #Autistic kids
Lizze was still in a bad place yesterday. She was in so much pain, she could barely move. Unfortunately, that put a dent in our plans to take the boys hiking at Quail Hollow. We ended up having Lizze go back to bed to get some rest, while I took the boys on my own. …

The doctor called and I learned something very interesting
Gavin’s awesome immunogist just called and wanted to know what was going on. I explained what I was told by the pharmacy and she was frustrated by it as well. Neither of us are sure what’s going on and why there’s such a delay. She’s going to get to the bottom of this, one way …

Even if we’re overreacting, I can live with that
Until we’re given other instructions, we will not be taking Gavin anywhere there are crowds of people. I’ve left messages once again today in regards to Gavin’s IVIG infusion medication and I’m waiting to hear back. At this point in time, and in the absence of definitive information one way or the other, we’re going …
