Sorry I've been out of the scene for a while, but I'd like to help where I can as well. I can offer artwork if it helps (would like to offer cash but we just aren't in a position to financially afford it right now :( ) If it helps, send me a PM & I'll do what I can.

Hi everyone.
First, happy holidays.
I have some news. First, at long last, I have the Certificate of Appointment. Hopefully, I'll b able to get to the bank tomorrow & begin the process of locking down Harrison's trust fund. I have to talk to my financial planner, too. Laura & I had been putting money into an RDSP, which, unless the 'planner tells me otherwise, is the best first option, so I plan to max that out. Any remainder will probably go into a Henson trust fund, which I'll have to get back in touch with the lawyer to work out. This was something Laura & I'd been working on, with the help of the lawyer, before everything...went to hell. The lawyer himself was still figuring out exactly how it worked last time we talked. So it'll b a bit yet, but I'm over the next hurdle.
The autopsy. For those who haven't been following the 'I never thot I'd b posting anything like this...' thread, I'll tell u what I posted there. The ENT specialist who'd been working with Laura, & who begged me to allow an autopsy to b done, got back to me a few days ago. The autopsy showed...nothing. No lymphoma (which we already knew). No allergic reaction (which they'd been looking for already for some time). No infection. No sign of a blood clot in the lungs, or heart trouble (that was what the ENT doctor thot it'd turn out to b). No HAE (a long shot--hereditary angio edema). & no sign of swelling in the throat (which I'll STILL say was what happened, despite the surgery & the steroids), including no sign of trauma to the throat caused by them tubulating her when she got to the hospital--another sign that there was no swelling. I'm continuing to look for other possibilities, not so much because I want to know as I'm worried about the possibility that it could have been something hereditary, & that Harrison might be at risk. But odds are we will probably never know.
And so. Life goes on. I'll post as soon as I can about further developments--especially regarding the trust fund. Thank you again, everyone, &, Happy New Year.

Hi again everyone.
I got to see my financial planner 2 days ago, & maxxed out Harrison's RDSP contribution for this year ($2000). In Febuary I find out how much I can contribute for this year (& will do so--it has the best return of anything Laura & I could find; the government matches every dollar contributed (to a limit)), & I also see the lawyer to work out the details for the Henson Trust Fund that Laura & I had begun. So I've started the trust fund at last. If someone had told me in October that it was going to take this long to get things rolling, I wouldn't have believed them. But I'm finally getting the money moving.

Is the trust fund ready for us?
