I am conflicted.  Attorney was supposed to go see Middle Boy on November 18th.  He hasn't been there yet.

Guardian ad Litem's mother passed away on Saturday and she is not going to be available most of this week.  She has been the biggest advocate so far in getting Attorney motivated.

Service Coordinator is back from vacation and able to help again.  She is finalizing our plan this morning.  I am hoping she will initiate contact with Attorney, but I am not sure she will.  She typically doesn't take that kind of initiative.

Therapist is on vacation until tomorrow and has plans to see him on Wednesday.  She also has her report ready for court and will meet with Attorney as soon as he meets with Middle Boy.

CASA is calling this morning to find out what on earth is going on with Attorney.

I am calling Legal Aid to see what our options are.  Do I hire a private juvenile attorney?    Can I legally even hire one for him since I am not a part of the case?  Would it slow down the process at this point in time?  What kind of cost would I be incurring?

We are now looking at a possible detention review on December 8th or 15th.  A miracle could happen with a detention review on December 1st, but that would give us a fill-in Guardian ad Litem and that is a bad idea.  His GAL has been with him for seven years and knows him really well.

Arraignment is still scheduled for late December if a detention review doesn't happen.  He could come home at that time.  He could also be ordered to a group home for some period of time.  God has a plan.

Prayers for all involved.

Prayers for Guardian ad Litem as she mourns the loss of her mother.

Prayers for wisdom regarding an attorney.
