[QUOTE="buddy, post: 479301, member: 12886"] Well, if the docs wouldn't have wanted him on the seizure unit, we could have done a direct admit into the psychiatric hospital which is what I initially thought they would want since he was just there and the medication they started is what lowered the seizure threshold. I think learning what we know now, if we have to go up on the lithium, we will plan for him to be prior authorized and wait until a bed opens and do both medications at the same time. We didn't know this first time that it would for sure lower the threshold that much. so he is doing well on the unit except really really hyper. OK, first day there readjusting (he thought he would have his same room etc. so it is all a big change for him) anyway they said he is in his room he has taken three naps and now has a headache that he rates a 7 out of 10 and doesn't want to get up. I asked he had a seizure that they saw? they said no someone was with him and he did not have a seizure. I reminded them that he also (and usually) has simple seizures and you will not SEE them. You have to ask him if he felt fake etc. and even then from the in pt. evaluation, there were many that he could not identify but we could see them on eeg and see his behavior changes. They are trying their best but this is not what they do and they just dont get it. Oh well, the point is to get the medications up and I just have to count the number of naps and headaches to tell. His neuro will talk them tomorrow and hopefully that will help. I feel a little guilty because I got pretty angry with him, even though I knew what was going on, I wasn't feeling well and I just could not take the refusals and threats, and what makes me sick is then when he recovers he just feels terrible and begs to be able to try again, can I please explain to Santa that he is trying etc. I told him of course Santa knows the truth and he has nothing to worry about. He was very happy about that. I suspect the Santa thing is going to be done this year. I sign all the presents from me, but he always thinks it is really Santa.
