This whole getting ready for the potential journey to Florida, for Gavin's Wish trip, is unexpectedly stressful. Things are more complicated because we're driving and that complication comes in the form of the rental car. I say potential journey because if we don't figure out the rental car, the trip is canceled. Flying isn't an option, at least not a good one. I can't even imagine taking three prone to meltdowns, kids with Autism, who are terrified of heights, on a plane.

We don't really have any appointments this week, aside from Dr. Pattie. I'm hoping that things can run as smoothly as possible. I don't need perfect but I need manageable. ☺
