This morning has been a fucking nightmare. All I needed to do was get everyone to the doctors. We were all going to the same place. I was mentally prepared for the challenges associated with that because most of them are predictable..
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
We're trying to get everyone ready to leave and Emmett gets so stressed out over his clothes that he has a massive meltdown. This was totally a sensory thing and outside of his control.
That massive meltdown led to a massive nose bleed that took me forever to get under control.
There was blood everywhere and it looked like a crime scene.
Both sides of his nose bled and that's a first for us. Emmett has been struggling with nose bleeds for a little while now and it's only ever been out one side or the other.
Completely unrelated to Emmett's nose bleed but happening at the exact same time, Gavin starts freaking out about his stomach. I'm not sure how much was drama and how much was actually discomfort. Gavin tends to be *very *dramatic.
I was managing Emmett while Lizze was dealing with Gavin and both of us were getting overwhelmed.
We have no idea what's going on with Gavin or why he was freaking out over a stomachache. He gets them fairly frequently and this didn't appear to be any different. He's just *off *this morning.
I managed to get Emmett to calm down and his nose bleed under control. It took way too much time and by the time it was done, Emmett was calm and I was frazzled.
After getting Emmett calmed down enough that his nose bleed was manageable, I had him work with Mightier because it helps him control his emotions and manage his anxieties. He needs to work on calming stratagies.
Gavin calmed down eventually as well and we were able to get out the door.
When we get done at the immunologist, I'll let you know what we learn, how it goes and if we survive.
