[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 237371"] As far as homebound, they have homebound instruction through the school district at the psychiatric hospital and the partial psychiatric hospital. He had homebound while he was in there, they get 2 hours of instruction. The school is being ridiculous about what he misses while he is out. He has done all the work he missed the week before he went in and last week, but now he has this past week that he will be behind and he missed taking the finals, which I don't feel that he is ready for. When I talked to him last night, he said he hasn't been able to study for the math final at all because of other things they have worked on. So I will be sending a note to school with him informing them that he is NOT ready to take it and shouldn't have to. As far as him returning to school, I really don't think he is up to it, but he needs to, he has to go. His anxiety is huge. I wish there was other options, but at this point, I just don't see any. I can't stay home with him, I wish I could and avoid the whole school issue, but I can't. I need my job, not only because it is our only source of income, but because of the medical benefits. The doctor is afraid that difficult child will get to where he won't leave the house at all if he just stays home too. As far as if difficult child is ready to be discharged, I don't know. His moods seem to be more stable, it's his anxiety now that is the issue. If needed I will asked the psychiatrist for a prn for the anxiety. difficult child should never have been discharged early from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I think that if we can get things in place for him with small classrooms and such that we can get him through this. At this point I don't know what our options are. There is a school for the emotionally disturbed, but the doctor said that at this point, he feels that we would be dealing with school refusal no matter what school difficult child was assigned to go to. I keep racking my brain to figure out how to do this. If I had the option to not work, it would be better. We barely make all of our expenses as it is with my income and the little bit the kids get for their survivors benefits, let alone if I didn't have my income. I just don't know. I am waiting now to hear from the psychiatric hospital, when I called a little bit ago, the psychiatrist hadn't been in yet this morning so they didn't have discharge orders yet. I don't know if I could get any public assistance that would help if I were not to work. I think I could get social security survivors benefits because difficult child is under the age of 16, but that wouldn't be enough. And then there is medical. difficult child would qualify for medicaid because of SSI, and I could probably get my daughter on the state children's health plan, but I wouldn't have any coverage and I have many appts myself because I am diabetic. So I don't know, I will have to keep looking into things. [/QUOTE]
