[QUOTE="maril, post: 261952, member: 5937"] Others give good suggestions and helpful information. My son had his first (2-day) stay in a psychiatric hospital in 10/08 and it was a learning experience for us all. difficult child was "freaked out" by the violent behavior of one of the other patients there and was so glad to come home. Other than my son's negative feelings about the experience, I felt the staff was helpful, and nothing out of the ordinary occurred. He is currently hospitalized in a dual diagnosis program; so far, so good. I do keep my eye on things, ask relevant questions, offer information that I think is important (i.e., medication intolerance/reactions -- my concerns), and generally feel that our role as advocates for our kids cannot be underestimated; am not ashamed to speak up if I feel I am justified. With that said, I certainly do realize the importance of and am comforted by the fact that my son is in the hands of professionals! Just the opinions of one old mom for whatever that is worth! :winking: Good luck to you and your DS. I am sending positive thoughts and hugs your way. [/QUOTE]
