Lizze has Gavin at the doctors for his eye follow up. I'm just copying and pasting what she wrote on her blog. it will be easier. "Dr. H just left. He's either very stressed or he saw something he didn't like but isn't sharing the news with me. He checked out Gavin's eye and corneal abrasion, which is now oozing "pussy drainage". He left the room to go call Dr. Ro and see if he could squeeze Gavin in today because of the "pussy drainage" and the fact that his eye is so red and inflamed now. Good news! Dr. Ro can squeeze us in but we are going to be here for a while since they don't think we'll get in till sometime around 2pm. Ew...the receptionist just said, "Oh…

Lizze just called and they are on their way home. Gavin has an abrasion on his eyeball about the size of an eraser. He has another appointment in the morning. They gave him eye drops and pain killers. He is in a lot of pain. This is going to be a rough week. I'm sure Lizze will be posting in more detail when she gets home. LT

He has been totally freaking out all morning and will need to be restrained. We trust them as have more experience with this. So Lizze and her sister are on their way now. I'm home with the other 2 kids. I'll keep you posted. LT

Expectations. When you have an Autistic child/children at home how do you know if your expectations are realistic? Gavin's abilities can change from day to day. It's important to push our kids to be the best they can be. At the same time you have to be careful not to push them to be more then they can be. Posted with Wordpress for Blackberry by LT
