[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476119, member: 12886"] Well I had to have a shortened conference at the school because she was behind and I needed her to get more work for the hospital. I will go back on Friday morning (no school but she will be there) and I will give her the hospital work he did and have our conference. she wants some one on one time anyway. difficult child was very good at visiting time. they said he had one 30 minute upset but only had to go to his room no holds or anything. the timing seems to be around the time the first concerta dose is wearing off. the social worker did a program update with me going through each area of their program and how he has done. They showed that he had twice needed to be physically restrained, the other times were when he just had to go to the time out room and two days when it had to be locked...the first day and all of the other incidents (physical restraints and the locked room) were when they didn't give him his medications for that whole day by mistake. I again said that was such a horrible thing and that i am still upset with that doctor. difficult child's doctor told me he is going to talk to him about not calling me and that he doesn't like that it happened that way. I felt a little defensive that in the report it didn't say that all of those terrible things happened when they didn't give him his medications. He has a huge scratch across his forehead and he is still dark from summer so it will really look like a scar until a few seasons go by and he tans over it again.. At least I hope it will color in again, it is really big all the way across the left side of his forehead and never would have happened if not for the medication error. She asked me about the discharge plans. It now says projected time by Saturday, I think that they are thinking the labs wont come back till late. so... But I realized I had asked what if he melts down at school the following monday and school is not an option right now, so we made plans...but I was starting to worry about what if we didn't even make it through our first night together, what if he has now learned to have a rage at a whole new level even without the medications...I know it is something that has not happened before but I am jsut worried after the punch he threw last Sunday. I asked if I would have to go to an er and do the whole thing again...not sure if he would get a bed there etc. She said that she will discuss with the doctor a provisional discharge. They let you out in the morning and hold the bed thru the day until midnight. Then I can have him home the whole day, make him do routine things and expect him to follow our rules and expectations, put him to bed and if all goes well, we are officially discharged at midnight. If there is a problem, then we can just go back there. I will find out tomrorow. I am sure he will go for it given difficult child's aggression and that the medications are not stable yet. has anyone done this before? any other ideas for transitioning home???? [/QUOTE]
