[QUOTE="slsh, post: 173913, member: 8"] I'm so sorry you family is going through this, but I absolutely without question think that it's the best thing for difficult child right now. If she's cutting to the point of potentially needing medical attention (or really, cutting at all in my book) then she needs to be evaluated. It sounds like the folks at the hospital are doing the right things - evaluation, tweak medications, and I'm sure there will be just tons of talk therapy. It is standard procedure to transfer via ambulance, always. Boy, I've done those long drives chasing the ambulance. A couple years ago we had to do tolls and they ended up getting to the hospital well before me - I was a mess. But like your daughter, thank you also seems to do well on these trips - I think it's the 1-on-1 with an EMT and ... well, to be honest, being in a vehicle has calmed thank you since he was an infant, LOL. A gentle hug to you - I think the hardest part about our kids being admitted isn't so much that we're having to admit them, though that's really heartbreaking - it's that our kids are in such a state that they *need* to be admitted. You didn't send her away; you are making sure that she is getting the help that she needs so she can be safe at home with her family. I hope they come up with some good strategies for her to start using post discharge, and that this is ultimately a positive experience for your family. Again - many gentle hugs coming your way.
