[QUOTE="xlagirl, post: 358065"] Hi Terry, OMG, Thank you for sharing your story about taking your little one to the hospital for the first time. Just curious, how old was your difficult child and your easy child at that time? It really helps me to hear your story and how you all survived it! I will take your advise about what to say and what not to say about going to the hospital. That is GREAT advise! He will scream when he finds out they will draw blood from him. Good luck holding him down for that one! = ) Today I made a lot of progress..... I called his current psychiatric and told them how things have been going at home (but I never got past the gatekeeper/recpt). She told me to just take him to county ETS (emergency treatment svc) 24hrs a day if I needed him assesed. I know for a fact that it's AT LEAST a 5 hr wait to see a doctor there. Plus they only have inpatient svcs for children over 13 yrs old. So, after his assesment, he would need to be transported to an out of town hospital about 1 hr away. Not saying that I wouldn't go that route, because I may have to.... but there's another option. I spoke to my difficult child's school today, and the Vice Principal was very helpful and gave some great advise on how to handle this. He said that he will call for an emergency IEP and request a AB27-26 assesment for mental health svc. They said this will not only get us help quicker, it will also open the door for in-home coaching for my son, and Theaputic behavioral services. I am really looking forward to all that! Thanks again Terry [/QUOTE]
