When he gets his infusion, he likes to sit in the same exact spot and practice the exact same routine.  If anything shakes up that routine, he panics and for that reason, we do our best to ensure everything stays as close to the same each time he gets his infusion. Poor Emmett has been so tired after his dental procedure today. He fell asleep in the car on the way home and has been…
