[QUOTE="seriously, post: 461138, member: 11920"] Just talked to social worker at the psychiatric hospital. They are discharging him tomorrow but he is participating in the groups and doing better. He told her that the new medication (seroquel) seems to be helping. That's so good to hear, I can't tell you. She's going to ask him if he wants to go to school tomorrow and if he does she'll try to arrange an early release around 9 am. Otherwise we're shooting for 5 pm. She also told me that one of the wrap around team had been there and talked to Joseph. She told the social worker that they were going to be able to come and do some TBS with us and sounded really excited about it. TBS is where they come in and spend several hours here coaching difficult child 2 and us through interactions. I'm not so sure about that but I'll take it until it's clear that it's not helpful. I pulled out The Explosive Child and went - Oh Yeah, why didn't I pull this out and re-read it sooner. I spent the morning thinking everything through because it was clear difficult child 2 was coming home whether it was appropriate or not. And I decided that we really need to pull back and de-escalate instead of "holding the line" right now. For whatever reason, difficult child 2 cannot handle that right now - not like he could 2 months ago. So we'll see what happens. I am feeling more confident than I was a couple days ago. easy child is still obviously down. She has a school dance tomorrow night and I said she could go. I think the thing that will help her the most is for things to calm down around here. But if it looks like it's going to be more of the same, I will call her best friend's mom and ask for her to come spend the weekend with them. Will keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
