Serenity,
I took a few days off, too. Just read latest on your S.
You mentioned a couple of times that your son has a number of excellent, involved mentors. Time to call them in ASAP. He needs to hear from them NOW...in no uncertain terms, imo.

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
