There's no school today because God hates us. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. It's the end of the grading period and it's an in-service day for the teachers. I'm not planning anything for today because I want to try and keep it as low key as possible. Gavin's dealing with a lot of confusion and low key will help to keep him for getting worked up. We have an upcoming appointment with his Psychiatrist and this will definitely be the main topic. In fact, if this gets any worse, we're going to get him an emergency appointment. I don't think there's anything we're going to be able to do but we will always try. It's not easy to maintain hope in the face of such a dire prognosis but what other…

I'm writing tonight to share something cool that happened today. Gavin's huge into My Little Pony and they characters play a big role in his Schizophrenic hallucinations. Aside from Sonic, they actually play the largest role on his team of super best friends. For the last few months, he's been so excited about the new My Little Pony Movie that was just released in theaters. Every time he meets someone, he shares how excited he is about seeing it. This afternoon, Lizze's Mom picked Gavin up and took him to see it. I guess it was just her, Gavin and some other dude in the entire theater. Gavin ended up spending the rest of the day with his Grandma. When he came home, he was so excited to tell us…

I'm really getting worried about Gavin. He's definitely slipping in several key areas of his life, despite how hard I know he's trying. 🙁 It breaks my heart to see him struggle the way he does. Saturday was a ton of repetitive talking and question asking because he couldn't remember a great of what was going on. I'm not sure how else to explain it. He would ask a question, to which he'd already been told the answer (often several times), and when I answered him again, it was like the first time he was hearing it. I feel so helpless because there's nothing we can do to prevent, slow down or put a stop to this downward spiral of cognitive ability.

I was running some errands yesterday and Lizze called me. She was concerned because she's noticing that Gavin's appearing to be more confused than he normally is. I don't remember exactly what she said had happened but I've noticed it as well. In the morning, I'm going to call Dr. Reynolds because I don't know if this is related to the changes in his meds or if this is a natural trend that would be happening regardless. Some of the things I've been noticing is how much he struggling with very simple tasks. We've been avoiding assigning complicated or multipart tasks to Gavin because they are simply outside of his ability. Lately, one step tasks have been proving to be problematic. Yesterday, I handed Gavin a replacement toothbrushe and asked…
