[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 693556, member: 20490"] Thank you for all your wise words, friends. We decided to go to a baseball game with fireworks after. Son will ride with me and kids and husband will follow about 30 minutes later when he gets off work. We will stay for fireworks, then go hubby will take son back to center. It will work well because it's a structured setting with a beginning and an end, public setting (he does better in public), and we will have two cars so he can go back at any time if he gets irritable or overwhelmed. He likes fireworks so I am not too worried about that. So at most it will be about 4 hours and I feel comfortable with that time frame and setting. I spoke to his therapist and she asked if I was willing to meet with my son and his team next week and I am. Son is back on stabilizing medications and told me today he feels amazing. medication management is key to long term stability for him and that will be my number one message to his team next week. They always say he "doesn't qualify" for assisted living or home health care but he needs it! Just because he is verbal and appears "normal" or "high-functioning" doesn't mean he is in ALL areas. He is significantly impaired in some ways and has NEVER successfully managed his medications as an adult. So I hope we can find some solutions since I am unable (and unwilling!) to fill that role anymore. I will let you know how the visit goes! [/QUOTE]
