[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 52152, member: 393"] Alison, If difficult child is that out of control you'll need to call 911 & ask for help in transporting a mentally ill child to ER. Honey, this isn't about winning or losing for either of you. It's about helping difficult child gain some semblance of control through medications if necessary, & then behaviorial interventions. None of this is about you or your parenting abilities. It's about difficult child & his instability. And having said that I know those bruises, that exhaustion. I really do understand & I don't say this lightly. I'd take the time at discharge planning to ask about needed interventions if difficult child gets out of control, refuses school attendance, rage, etc what is your plan of action. Who can you call for help in transportation? Is there a possibility for a PRN medication to help calm the situation? (I'd personally prefer a chemical restraint over a physical restraint.) In the past, I've refused to pick wm up from discharge; fortunately I had a mental health case manager to step in & resolve the situation (he backed me up). That's where help from DCFS can help I hope I didn't sound glib in my previous response - it wasn't my intention. I'd be worried as well. [/QUOTE]
