The boys both had really good days at school today. Gavin's infusion went off without a hitch and aside from his joints popping out of socket, he's had a good day as well. A large part of my awake time today was spent rebuilding my server. You may not know this but I donate server space to a couple Autism related sites, one of which was met with an exploit that spread to another site. It took some time, patience and a bit more patience but I was able to get everything rebuilt, cleaned and back online. I'm actually getting pretty good at managing the server side of things and it felt like an accomplishment when I was done. While it's frustrating when these things come up, it's important for…

I'm pretty frustrated at the moment because I crashed about 10:00 am and slept much longer than I wanted to. I understand that my body clearly needed it but at the same time, life needs more attention than it's been getting. On the positive side, I feel much better and ready to tackle the day. How does one recover from chronic sleep deprivation? You can't make up sleep that was lost but is there a way to regain a healthy sleep wake cycle?

Props to Lizze for helping to facilitate that chunk of awesome.

As we begin the new week, I'm feeling hopeful that things will be getting better. There will be new doors opening for us and I'm very optimistic that we can make some forward progress. It's also going to be a rather busy week as well. At last count, we have roughly a dozen appointments before the end of the week but most of them are local. That's always a good thing.. ☺ Emmett and Gavin will have Speech and Occupational Therapy on Tuesday. Both of them are looking forward to that. On the topic of Occupational Therapy, there will be a big change in store for Emmett. He's going to begin working with a peer during therapy and that's really cool. It gives him a chance to practice his social…
