[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 83386, member: 3907"] Hello everyone, Thanks so much for your support over the last couple of days...it really helped to get me through. Step-d reported that difficult child had a good day yesterday. Good enough that she was able to let him out of his room in the late afternoon (after 2 straight days of lockdown). He was able to sit quietly with her and work on his jigsaw puzzle, and then bath and bed. [img]:whew:[/img] psychiatrist was reluctant to prescribe Risperdal...I don't fully understand this, and need to do more research, but she suggested that we up his paxil to double the current dose. SO also had a long talk with difficult child. Seems he's got terrible cabin fever from being housebound all day. He can go out in the back yard and run around, but he can't go out. And, it turns out that he misses the summer Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and he's very anxious about the new Residential Treatment Center (RTC). When we've talked about it before, he was excited, but this anxiety has just been boiling under the surface for weeks. I feel terrible that I missed the signs earlier...maybe I could have gotten him intervention before the meltdowns got this bad. SO explained that the new Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is run by the same people as the old one, only it's closer to home so we'll be able to see him more often. Fingers (and lots of other things crossed) that the stability holds for the next couple of weeks, or that I will recognize the anxiety before it gets this bad. (In answer to your question, Terry, difficult child doesn't have a computer, because he tends to go straight to...umm...inappropriate content) Thanks again for the hugs and support. Trinity. [/QUOTE]
