I had some good news at my oncologist–my lab work counts are looking fairly stable and not too off the charts, so I must be doing something right, or at least my leukemia is being lenient to me, so I guess I get to stick around some more.

I spent the night over at A’s, so I could sit in on a morning home meeting with S’s autism specialist, who provides education and strategies for caregivers.  I find these sessions very enlightening.  She also informs us of additional services that S may qualify for.

The rest of the day I did some sorting jobs for A–sorting and organizing kids’ meds, teas, the fridge contents, etc.–plus the usual housework.  Avdi was able to get out to MoBot to work and clear his head a little.

“After” more work at home, he even had a few minutes to share a drink and update me a little, and check out my projects in the garden.  He’s so distracted with work and worries that we rarely have a chance to even communicate.  But he says just my presence helps him feel not as alone.
