[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 320218, member: 1631"] Sharon-You snuck in while I was typing my replies. I do think there is a good possibility of difficult child having to be hospitalized soon, especially if the new thing we are trying with the clonidine doesn't help, maybe even if it does because this is going to put him in a more tired state and if his body doesn't adjust then we will need to do the hospitalization.

He was very upset when it happened and difficult child knew it. I think I was surprised (and a bit upset) that he said he didn't consider things unsafe until he had pushed me. At first I thought he meant even with the push down the stairs. For me the car thing a few weeks ago was very unsafe. I think it was more easy for me to see the dangers because it happened to me.
