We have to get Elliott of to school as usual. Shortly after that Gavin has his 11 year appointment at the pediatrician. The kicker is that he's getting shots, at least 2, and possibly 4. This is NOT going to go over well. One shot....mayber but more then that is going to cause Gavin to go over the edge. It will take many people to accomplish this. When he was younger it would sometimes take up to 6 or 8 people to hold him still long enough to get this done. I have having to do that but the vaccines are to important not to.
This will be much more challenging because he's already disorganized and so he will less control over himself. He's also much stronger now. The problem with be the anticipation of each additional shot. This is what will cause the panic and subsequent meltdown. Many times having to do this whille he's begging for help makes me cry. He doesn't understand that I'm doing this because I love him and want to keep him safe for diseases we CAN actually prevent. This will set the tone for the rest of the week and it will take him days to recover. The hallucinations will likely become worse at least for a while due to the anxiety.
After that we have to get Emmett to school and then pick Elliott up and then back to get Emmett. We are meeting with Elliott's teacher tonight and then Lizze has an appointment.
