This is a pretty straightforward question.  Do you ever wish you could skip through your day like you skip commercials on TV? Sometimes I really think the idea of being able to skip through some of my day and no e on to the rest, has merit.  Other times I think I would run the risk of missing something important.

Gavin drew, completely freehand and from his imagination, this picture of Super Girl. He's getting pretty good at this.  I asked him why he's drawing so many female Super hero's lately.  He simply said, " because they are easier and more complex to draw.

I spoke with John's Hopkins this morning about where we stand in respect to Gavin being seen. Apparently, they got a large part of the records needed but they are missing the case notes.  The case notes are a big deal.  I email release forms to the Cleveland Clinic today and hopefully, they should have the records fax over within the last week or so.  It's not really a question of if we are taking Gavin across several state lines to be seen by the best hospital in the country, it's more a matter of how and when. If Gavin is going to be seen in the AT clinic, we will approach this whole thing in a certain way.  However, if Gavin's going to be seen outside of the AT…

I just got off the phone with Dr. Reynolds office.  Dr.  Reynolds is Gavin's psychiatrist and one of the very, very few people who specialize in Childhood Schizophrenia. Anyway, we have an appointment scheduled for August 27th. They also have Gavin on a wait/cancelation list and Dr. Reynolds is going to working to get him in ASAP.  The truth is that Gavin's not a danger to himself or anyone else at this exact moment in time.  While watching him go through this is disturbing, on many levels, he's not doing anything that would require immediate hospitalization or intervention.  My guess is that we'll be in to see him in the next week or so.  Unfortunately, when you're lucky enough to have a specialist of Dr. Reynolds caliber, it's essentially a…

Today is going to begin with a round of phone calls to figure out what to do with Gavin.  It's apparent that he needs to have more work done to his medications. His anti-psychotic medications can be bumped up one last notch before he hits the ceiling.  To be honest, I'm really worried that we are going to be unable to bring him back to a more solid footing within reality.  I don't know of what we are going to do if we are unable to treat this psychotic break.  I also don't know if this is one of those things that will work itself out, if simply left alone.  This site is managed almost exclusively via WordPress for Android. Please forgive any typos as autocorrect HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired…
