[QUOTE="Andy, post: 190569, member: 5096"] I would say the combination of difficult child's good behavior in the psychiatric hospital and the doctor's report that difficult child is able to control his behavior is the reason insurance has denied more days. Did difficult child have sleep problems in the psychiatric hospital? If so, how did the doctor explain those? When my difficult child was admitted, he was at the point of throwing up when very distressed. A SW told me, "He is doing that intentionally to get your attention." My kid is like me, it is very difficult for us to throw up - we just are unable to make ourselves do that. However, my reply was, "It is because he is looking for help not because he is looking for attention." psychiatric hospital's purposes is to stabilize kids. Maybe your difficult child stabilized due to the super structure if not due to medications. doctor should have said, "We would like you to continue to follow difficult child through his own psychiatric doctor. He has improved since admission but at this point we are unable to diagnosis anything. Since he is healthy and able to control himself at this point, we need to discharge him. Please bring him back if issues arise again." I think calling police on an 11 year old is severe. That takes you to another level in disciplining. I hope you can come up with creative ways to not have to call police. Happy Home Coming tommorrow! My difficult child turns 12 yrs old tomorrow. I hope it is a great day for both our boys. [/QUOTE]
