[QUOTE="BeachPeace, post: 542991"] Sharon - It was the scariest episode we have ever had. The biggest reason we did not do inpatient was his arm pain from the fracture really kept him subdued - when we left the ER that evening he was very calm and answering appropriate questions. The other reason was he needed follow up by an othopedic surgeon and they did not do that at our local facility that takes psychiatric kids. I have found yet another gap in our mental health resources. Kind of felt like we had to choose between treating a fracture or treating the psychiatric symptoms. Between psychiatric md and psychologist, pediatrician and othopedic surgeon we managed to get him back to baseline. psychiatrist took him off of zoloft (which was just added in May) and also stopped the imipramine. He drew labs and increased his Depakote dose and he has done very well. Pediatrician found an ear infection and treated that. His cast is a nightmare as you can imagine since it is 105 degrees outside and it goes from fingers to armpit. [/QUOTE]
