[QUOTE="Josie, post: 392763, member: 1792"] "so oregon's checking availability for after xmas, if we gotta go there also. We had to both sit there and say ok why are we waiting on oregon? Our or my answer was simple, if i fly there and it doesnt' work and i also feel there's a strong chance it wont difficult child will be beyond hopeless. and deeply depressed. the doctor's there although good does not have one pysch doctor on board, so that's why i felt like i gotta totally exhaust here before i go there. i just know she's feeling hopeless. so i gotta give this the time it deserves." I would try not to build up Oregon as the last hope, just so you avoid that hopeless feeling if it doesn't help. If you think Oregon is the best place to treat her and something you haven't tried, try it so that you can rule it out and move on in other directions, if you need to. There must be other ways to help her, even if you don't know what they are yet. I have a similar "last hope" treatment in mind for my daughter. I think my daughter already feels mostly hopeless, but I consider it my job to try to keep her hope alive, so I would never let her think this is her last chance. Anyway, I spoke to a therapist about this today and her advice for me was to not think of this as the last hope but as the next step. I do know of other things to try if we have to go down that path. I'm sure you can find other ways to help your daughter, too, even if you go to Oregon and it doesn't work out. [/QUOTE]
