It’s super cold this morning and that adds some extra suckage to our early start to the day. On the plus side, I slept pretty well and feel perfectly capable of battling traffic on our way to Cleveland. ☺

At the moment, I’m sitting in the parking lot waiting for Gavin to emerge from having his blood drawn.

This poor kid is going to feel like a guinea pig today because of all the testing he having done today. The blood work this morning should be the only needles he has to experience today and there’s comfort in that.

I can’t explain how much admiration I have for Gavin. He never, ever complains about having to go through any of these things. He’s easily the bravest kid I’ve ever met.
