[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 107895, member: 3072"] My daughter is a honeymooner. She's had 4 separate stays and honeymooned each time. Her last stay was just over a week and they wanted to discharge her the day she arrived because she was so pleasant and easy to get along with. For her, its usually 3 to 4 weeks before she starts showing her true colors. Even then, she still seemed to do a little better in the hospital. I think it was because it was such a controlled environment...very strict rules and routine. I also agree with the poster who mentioned that it seems they don't get a lot out of hospital stays. My daughter didn't because she can't take what she learns and apply it. 6 is young. My daughter's first stay was last year when she was 13. I was quite nervous but she was thrilled and since she really doesn't have a real attatchment to me, anyone who will take care of her needs will do. She's not diagnosis'd with bipolar...just mood disorder not otherwise specified. She does cycle but like her other diagnosis's, if they give her the bipolar label, it won't be because she comes by it in the usual way but through brain injury. Wishing you lots of luck with your little one. [/QUOTE]
