[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 307217"] Thank you guys for the very nice sentiments...means a lot to me. As you know this is a very very hard, thankless job we find ourselves in. And as luck would have it, after many many days of positives, today was really tough...we made a medication change and difficult child was manic. As near as we can tell, nothing very serious has occurred, but she was very ugly on the phone with- us today and its a little touch and go for the remainder of the day. Sadly, she called first, but blew off her therapy appointment. today for the first time and was totally irrational and nonsensical...it's like a different person. We are putting her medications back the way they were tonight and she is not arguing about this (a good thing). As a side note...I have fallen a little behind in my work this afternoon and husband is fighting mild depression as a result of observing the sudden change in difficult child this morning. We are a little shocked at how fast things can turn upside down on the rollercoaster. We are BOTH DETERMINED to pick ourselves up again and pronto. I guess we got a little use to the quiet in the last month...there's a sadness when the blackness/chaos/turmoil/trauma-drama returns. However....life moves on...I make sure of this. Star, difficult child has actually done some "interesting" things along the lines of what you have mentioned in an effort to help herself clean. She has had a friend sit by her side and keep her company. The weirdest thing she has done and this was recently, was "Pay" a friend to clean with- money that she barely had...it went "into" her food money. It was a feeble attempt to help herself...but in my humble opinion food takes precedent over cleaning...I can clean myself...can't grow an apple from my armpit. [/QUOTE]
