[QUOTE="PumaMami, post: 274877, member: 7383"] He's so young, and those wards are no fun. It's unlikely he will fool seasoned professionals, though. So it may really help. Your 8 yo girl might be scared even if she doesn't say so. It's good to have someone with her, too. My difficult child used to get really scared of his step-sister when she was having issues. I've watched my now-20 yo step-daughter with severe schizoaffective disorder go in and out of hospitalizations and residential the last six years. The visits there are sad, but they enjoy the company very much, even if reluctant to show it. It's true they won't keep them long, but even 5 day visits have helped a lot to stabilize my step-daughter and get her on the right road with medication adjustments and recommendations. We have a 12 yo boy that just started Abilify, and I brought him to the ER a couple of weeks ago at 3am with mania and mild hallucinations, but he wasn't "a danger to himself or others" so didn't go inpatient. I hope all goes well for your family and your difficult child. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
