[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 497763, member: 1157"] I'm so sorry. But count me as one that's been there done that, as well. Many of Youngest's hospitalizations went the same way. Left hand doesn't talk to right hand, lots of twiddling of thumbs, lots of conflicting answers. Different psychiatrists on different days with different plans. The worst was when one day I had a family meeting where the staff agreed with all my concerns, and said she'd probably be there a few more days, and the very next day I got a call at work to come pick Youngest up, she'd been discharged. Past tense. No warning, no discharge plan, nothing. They got snippy when I said I would have to wait until that evening to come get her, because I was working. More than once, she was discharged and then re-admitted within a week. It saddens me that these stories are still so common (mine took place 6-8 years ago). I suspect they will only get worse as more funding gets cut and insurance companies continue call the shots and make decisions on what "stable" means. [/QUOTE]
