Addressing Anxiety

We will be hauling Elliott to the doctor's on Monday morning.  This time it's not for a broken tooth but instead anti anxiety medications.

Elliott is the poster child for *generalized anxiety disorder** *and the quality of his life is significantly affected.

This appointment has been a long time coming.

Elliott’s anxiety is situational and rather extreme.  This means that all the stress and chaos that goes on in the house as a result of being a special needs family.

We have addressed everything that *can* be immediately addressed but others are in a holding pattern like Gavin's placement.

Elliott’s in therapy and we do whatever we can to relieve the anxiety but unfortunately,  medication is our plan B*. *Plan A was simply not enough to provide him with any relief and so it's long past time to put Plan B into motion.

We will cross the Plan B starting line, Monday morning at 9:35 am.
