[QUOTE="Janna, post: 64856, member: 2737"] Dylan goes into the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) on Monday. This is his last weekend with us for a while [img]:frown:[/img] He had his physical yesterday. That was interesting. His family doctor, who has seen him since age 2, is on vacation, so we got another doctor. She was clueless. I told her he was going into an Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). She wanted to know why, was really snippy at first, then over time loosened up a bit. He's healthy, although his weight keeps going up, even after discontinuing the Abilify, and he is a whopping 130 pounds. He's under height for his age, so, I'm telling you, he's enormous. Everything else was good. All the forms are filled out. He's been to the dentist for his 6 month cleaning. Physical is done. Eyeglass test was done, and a new set of glasses are ready. All scripts are filled. Got a new script for Flonase, filled that today. Have the weekend to buy clothing he needs and pack. I'm really thinking of asking for a medication wash. His thyroid is crazy with the Lithium. The weight gain is unbelievable, and for whatever reason, the medications just aren't doing it. He's at 1050 mg. At 10 years old lol. It's just unbelievable. He is becoming increasingly aggressive, loud, manic, hyperactive and his impulsivity is out of this world. I can't even relate to you here how incredibly wound up he is. He is still not defiant (I, myself, just can't friggin believe it), but he is definately emotionally out of control. I don't know how much I'll be on, I try to check in a couple of times a week, but wanted to update. Hope everyone is well. Will keep you updated as I know how he's doing. [/QUOTE]
