[QUOTE="sandman3, post: 133660, member: 4719"] Oh, please hang in there! I know exactly how you feel....my difficult child 2 has been inpatient since 2-17-08, he's only 7 years old and I never in a million years imagined I would have to take that step. When the psychiatritst asked me if I thought he needed to be inpatient.....I knew I had to say yes, it was the hardest thing I ever did. But now, I am so glad I did! He's coming home tonight! They spent lots of time observing him, working on his behaviors, tweaking his medications until they got the right combination. I know it's hard for you right now, but it will be worth it! Also, what kind of hospital is it??? Strictly a psychiatric hospital or a Medical center? Mine is at a Medical center and I really feel like they worked very hard to help us, including dealing with the school for me and making recommendations to them. And, their visiting schedule was much more liberal (every day) and they encouraged as much visiting as possible. Usually the Major medication centers will take them from 5 years old. Something for you to think about! (((((((HUGS))))))) [/QUOTE]
