Can I get involved in this? I love you guys too!

Yeah, check your pipes for scaling. You may be having a loss of flow due to closing of pipe apetures instead of reservoir drawdown. (The pressure shouldn't change but the flow out of a pipe can be deceiving about whats wrong).

If its the second, fuck it, I don't know, I just applied my general knowledge of geothermal systems (note: much more likely to scale). You're probably fucked.

Not OP here, but as a child of two deaf teachers, one a preschool teacher and the other a professor at Gallaudet (OP's school), if your daughter is Deaf and isn't able to talk/hear as would be needed in a normal academic environment, I strongly encourage you to have her put in a deaf school. If she's at average or above intelligence, spec ed. would be a terrible decision, but I am generally against mainstreaming deaf people where possible. Your daughter is a special case and I'm not sure how well/not she functions in a hearing environment, but mainstreaming tends to lead to social isolation, etc, at least from my experience.

edit: Does depend where you live, to some extent, and as OP said some deaf schools can have inferior quality of education. However, as long as you are in the US, we have a really fantastic program in most states (I can attest to California's, at least).

I'm definitely suffering from both for sure. Grad school has been a goddamn nightmare -_-'' Seeing my fellow sufferers come out of the woodwork here is a bit reassuring.

I was going to reply to him and explain that the South Pole does, in fact, change position over time due to axial precession, but your explanation is much better. The Earth's rotational axis does change over time, but certainly not by several meters a year (that was bothering me!).

Edit: In addition to axial precession, the rotational axis should, and don't quote me on this, be changing extremely slightly constantly due to extraplanetary changes in cosmic body positions (whose gravity contribute to the net balance of forces on the Earth).
