[QUOTE="bran155, post: 181668"] Thanks guys. I agree, the phone use at this hospital is not limited nearly enough. They get certain hours to use the pay phone, I think it's 2-6, then 7-9. And they don't limit the amount of calls the kids can make or the length of time they can spend on the phone. Makes no sense. Christy, I do think she has made some progress, however my experience with her tells me that once she gets home it will be the same old thing all over again. Not to mention, I think her medications are up in the air. I mean they want to send her home on Lithium, Lamictal and Haldol. The Haldol makes her sleep all day. She actually asks me, or whoever is visiting her to leave so she can go to sleep. I told the doctor I didn't want her discharged while still on Haldol as she won't take it at home if she is going to be sleeping her life away. To me, that's not stability, that's sedation!!! I have a meeting tomorrow at 3 and I will find out all of the details. I will let you know what happens. Thanks again. :) [/QUOTE]
