Last night DH and I were talking about SS15 and dates for Christmas. BM never responded to his last email saying that he would be willing to give up 2 days of Christmas break in exchange for Thanksgiving. So out of 5 emails he sent asking for her confirmation of dates she only responded once with "SS only wants to come out from 20th-27th because he has a dance and basketball practice". 

DH sent the 3rd email about Christmas dates last night with our "I will take your nonresponse as consent" line with a deadline of 5pm today.

Around 2am she responded stating that SS wants to attend a school dance and that he has basketball practice that would conflict with the 1st and lat day we wanted him here. Essentially cutting DH 2 days short. (How she knows basketball practice before the start of the season, or if it is even happening, who knows!)

This past weekend DH and I took a road trip. We would get to an area, get a hotel and uber around to breweries- it is kind of our thing. We were at one, we start talking about my kids poor SM who was coming up on being 2 weeks late and how miserable she is. As a joke we sent her twister to play with the kids to get the baby out- the pictures she sent back were priceless BTW! LOL. 

It felt really good to know that I did the right thing pushing for this assesment!
 

SS is not bipolar. 

He does have Autism, ADHD and Anxiety disorder- None of which I ever questioned. His therapist told me to apply for social security again for him and she sees no reason why we would be denied adult guardianship. So my weekend will be doing just that. 

I am really proud of SS for hanging in for all the testing. It was a total of 6 hours over 3 different sessions- so I know he was mad at me for it but he did it.
