[QUOTE="zoo_keeper, post: 470932, member: 12188"] God its been a longgg day. Thanks for your replies it gives me comfort reading them. difficult child had a horrible nights sleep again even with the new trazadone. He still kept going during the day only irritable to the umpteenth degree. he is being admitted to the hospital tomorrow. First thing their going to do is attempt to regulate his sleep cycle (he's suffering from insomnia induced psychosis according to psychiatrist). Our psychiatrists office is actually located in a clinic within the hospital so he will be admitted from her office. The only problem is getting him there. Its been a huge issue since we started seeing her because difficult child is convinced everytime we have an appointment we will leave him at the hospital and never come back. I haven't told him anything about the plans tomorrow. I still don't know how we're going to get him into the car because he is on high alert. I'm going to have to wing it someone. He knew I was talking back and forth with psychiatrist today and actually wrestled the phone out of my hand when I was talking to husband thinking I was talking to her. After that he managed to take all the phones and hide them when I was changing easy child. Only just found my cell phone an hour ago because he switched it to silent. ugh As far as his medications go... He's pretty much been on the same medication since his last psychiatric hospital stay in may. He did really awesome for a long time and started gradually going downhill we he started school. only bad thing about abilify i noticed is that he appetite changed. psychiatrist told us to add an additional clonidine dose in the mornings and that helped for a while. His sleep only got out of whack in the last week or so. This last school freak out happened due to this same kid we've had problems with twice this year already pushing difficult children buttons. How could this have happened when difficult child has a one on one behavior buddy I have no idea. Last school year was a disaster, he was already on homebound by this time. He does have an iep this year but how do I explain whats happening with him to our new school? Or do I? I have no idea how he's still awake as he's had a trazadone dose every four hours since I woke up. Its supposed to be a sedative. Tomorrow can't come soon enough. Thanks [/QUOTE]
