[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 402403, member: 3444"] That's a good idea, Marg. difficult child 2's lang arts teacher gave him a graphic organizer/outline to help him map out an essay this week. I've copied it to my computer and will keep one of these handy for difficult child 1 as well for the next time he locks up like this. He eventually got the work done. The tutor cancelled on us yesterday so that gave him an unpressured day to work on a lot of things. He's got a bit more to do over the weekend, providing this procedure tomorrow is successfully done outpatient. And if not, I'll worry about it later. She has until next Wednesday to wrap up everything because grades are due Thursday. I talked to him about his anxiety levels in general over this whole procedure. He says he's just trying not to think about it, but he does not expect to give us any trouble tomorrow at all. He says he knows it's something that has to be done and he's looking forward to getting it over with. So fingers crossed. The hospital called yesterday to tell us we got bumped up because of a baby that needs to be seen before difficult child 1, so now he's due to check in at 11:15 instead of 9:15. So that gives me more time to give him his medications in advance of everything (he's supposed to be NPO for 8 hours prior). But he is going to be one very hungry and likely grumpy fella that afternoon! [/QUOTE]
