I can not believe this is really happening. Our son is getting more and more impulsive. He is a danger to him and others. He ran out in the middle of the car pool line (stopping moving cars). He then threw a large branch into the carpool line hitting a car. Shortly after that (and being dealt with) he threw a rock which hit our good friend in the chest and bruised her. None of these things were in anger, pure happy, not thinking, impulsive, no thought at all.
After speaking with his psychiatrist, we agree the best thing would be for him to go to the hospital. The psychiatrist's hospital only takes from 7 years and up (our son is 6 years 10 months), so we did not want to go through the emergency room because they would have sent us else where. The doctor is going to speak with people at the hospital and see if they will agree with is age. Then we have to wait to see if there is a bed available. I can't believe I am even doing this but now have to wait G-D knows how long if they will even take him.
I can't stop crying once again. The image of leaving my shreiking little boy at a psychiatric ward with minimal visitation is nausiating. I cannot get the image out of my head of what this will be like.
This can't really be our life. It is so unfair. He is so little and we keep trying and trying and nothing seems to help. How can this be? How????
Please tell me we will get through this.
Right now I can't stop crying, I think I am going to throw up and just can't imagine when the day actually comes how he will be able to handle it and forgive us for leaving him there.
