We are at Elliott's and Gavin's appointment with the psychiatrist, rather his nurse practitioner. The last few times we've managed to get in for a scheduled appointment, we were never seen because of the office being several hours behind or being bumped for someone else.
So far, they are 20 minutes behind but we're early.
Gavin's appointment is a meds check and to discuss the mania, while Elliott's is an ADHD meds check and depression/anxiety. <img src="https://lxnxuovarpoeyuzaxuet.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/inline/2014/01/wpid-IMG_20140127_165003_wm.jpg" alt="" class="inline-block max-w-full h-auto rounded-xl my-4" loading="lazy" />
Elliott is freaking out because the office has changed a little bit and they now take his blood pressure and weight. He's got his face buried in my shoulder and tears streaming down his face.
While we've been patients here since 2005, this is our last attempt to maintain a relationship because the kids are no longer getting the care they need.
It sucks but this can't continue. We were one of his very first patients when he moved here from Harvard but the office has taken on too many patients and now it's pretty chaotic and the wait times can stretch into *hours*...literally.
Hopefully we can get through this and be seen because I hate the idea of starting over somewhere else.
