[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 371318, member: 1872"] We got a diagnosis on GFG17 today -- schizoaffective disorder. This is pretty much what we thought, but I did enjoy being able to write "Psychosis not otherwise specified" for awhile in the diagnosis line. It is a difficult diagnosis for my little boy and I have to say I am getting teary and choked up as I type, and although we have been fortunate in getting him help this time around, I don't want him to have this burden, but that is his and our journey. Anyway, difficult child is doing very well. We visited today for family therapy and clinical update -- all favorable progress. We were able to take him out on a pass -- his first. We got him his first haircut and shave of 2010 -- between juvie, psychiatric hospital and residential, it just hasn't been possible. It was a pleasure to do this for him. The "Great Clips" was in a strip mall and he got to choose a spot for a quick dinner -- he had a choice between Mexican and a place called Cheeseburger Cheeseburger and he chose the later. Great burgers and he downed a huge banana shake. We'll need to keep a routine in place -- this Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is huge on physical exercise and our formerly sedentary difficult child is doing well in gym, and swimming a lot in the huge pool there. He's having a lot of successes -- we'll need to really keep those going in real life. I have hope. [/QUOTE]
