Here’s some good news for today. Both boys made it to school, without any problems. Elliott was not thrilled but he cooperated 100% and I’m so thankful for that.

The plan for the day is pretty simple. I have to pick Elliott up from school a little before noon, drop Gavin off with my Mom and head up to Akron Children’s Hospital. Elliott has a followup in the behavioral health clinic. They are helping manage his depression, as well as handling all his medications for it. They’re absolutely fantastic and I’m so appreciative for all they do.

I promised Elliott that I would take him to lunch afterwards. He gets very anxious about any and all doctor appointments. As a result, he won’t eat until after it’s over. So, that’s that.

My Mom and Gavin will likely pick Emmett up from school because I probably won’t be back in time to do it myself.

That will consume the bulk of my afternoon and that’s okay. We have nothing planned after that and I’m okay with that as well. I have a shitload of laundry to get caught up and it’s not going to do itself. There’s a few things I need to work out still and begin building a stable routine for us. I’ll talk more about that later. 😉
