I rec'd 5 calls from school yesterday while I was at physical therapy. kt, apparently, went dissociative & was placed in the safe room. She was exhibiting some self harming behaviors - mostly, though, she was agitated & simply "not there". Didn't/couldn't (?) respond to any of school/day treatment staff. Was unsure & couldn't talk afterward about what happened.
Day treatment therapist has been concerned about kt's exhaustion, of late. Concerned over kt's level of stress due to home stressors (me). kt kept yelling that I was dying yesterday, that she needed to hear my voice.
When I got home from PT, I immediately called day treatment/school & got kt on the phone. The first thing she said was "mom, I was scared you were back in the hospital. I thought you died".
So it's a mental health day for ktbug. Truancy issues be dam#ned. kt needs a day home with mom - needs to see that, for the most part, I'm okay. She can help with some of the things I need to do around here. I'm also calling to have her medication levels drawn. I wonder if we don't have some kind of medication issue.
I'm worried about kt - respite being cancelled this weekend isn't helping. Respite every other weekend got kt out from under my current health issues. It wasn't in her face & seems to have helped her in a big way.
My confused, don't know whether to be attached or not, ktbug. Makes a parent a little crazy.
