[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 154459, member: 1169"] I feel my energy coming back :) To catch y'all up, after being in the hospital Friday - Sunday (which I told you about), I had to go back in on Thursday for 2 days so I missed the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) interviews. Big Kudos for husband for stepping up to the plate and taking her. One of the RTCs she interviewed with is brand new (started by the psychiatric hospital that she has been in numerous times) so they had 15 beds open and have been admitting girls like crazy. They called Monday at 2pm and wanted her admitted at 1pm on Tuesday. We somehow got her packed and there on time. She was irritable during the intake. At one point refusing to stay, then wanting us to leave so she could go see her room and meet the girls. She alternated between saying she is usually a great kid to admitting that she is violent and likes it. She knows her roommate from her last psychiatric hospital stay (the one she was at for 5 weeks). She called husband last night and was clearly honeymooing. Everything was "great" and she "loves" it there. Course, she hasn't started therapy yet ;) Course, find out that Post-Adoption only approved 90 days funding. What the heck do they expect her to get done in 90 days? Called the caseworker who said that they were shocked that Kanga didn't get our State Residential Treatment Center (RTC) grant and expect us to win the appeal, so they granted it for 90 days because they feel that we will have State grant funding by then. If not, they will, if the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) recommends it, probably renew her in 90-day chunks for a year. So, I'm trying to get my younger ones back to a normal life and set some 90-day goal for me so that if (since Murphy's Law lives here) she comes home, we are ready. [/QUOTE]
