[QUOTE="slsh, post: 306844, member: 8"] Most of the hospitals my son was in (even as a very young child) had specific visiting times - usually one evening during the week and then one or both weekend days. The times were limited - usually 1-2 hours. If my son was extremely unstable, they would not allow us to visit. The guardian in the meantime should be involved with the treatment plan and discharge planning. She should be talking with, at least, the therapist involved in her grandson's treatment, if not the psychiatrist as well. Given the circumstances involved in the admission, I think a lot of focus needs to be put on discharge planning and outpatient resources for the family, especially if he rages again once he's discharged (crisis team, etc). It's very frustrating to have someone saying a child cannot be discharged, but the goal of inpatient treatment is stabilization. Sometimes it's very hard to communicate effectively with- staff during these crisis situations. I would highly recommend guardian contact therapist and explain how the grandson reponds to stress. It should be possible to hold a family therapy session (outside of usual visiting hours) to hopefully reassure grandson *and* treatment team. [/QUOTE]
