An Update from the Twilight Zone...

I'm so sorry, Daisy. Sending hugs and lots of strength.

Daisy...Im desperately trying to think of someway to help you. I remember being in your shoes 10 long years ago being frantic over trying to find someone to help me find some way to help Cory. I literally started calling everyone I could think of and if they couldnt help me, I asked them if they could suggest someone I could call. I started with the Head of the Dept of Health and Human Services. This was dicey because I worked for DSS at the time. Well actually what I did was I went to my director of my local agency which I worked for and I asked him for help...begged actually...as both an employee and a county resident for help and he blew me off by telling me to do what my supervisor told me to do. Stupid remark really because my supervisor had point blank told me that if his kid ever behaved like my kid did he would beat the snot out of him. OKKKKK. Well then.

So...I fired off an email to the Head Honcho at Health and Human Services and CC'd the director at my agency since I was going to quote him and my supervisor...lol....and told them that I was asking them for help and that I had been told by the Director of XXX Co. DSS to follow Supervisor Y's advice to "beat the snot out of my mentally ill son".

And you wonder why they dont like me there? LOL.

I think I had CPS investigators calling me within 3 days and an appointment for intake with a special program at mental health within a week.

And she would kill herself before you allow her to be moved - and she is still considered stable? Why did tdoc not use this to get more urgent help?

I just got copies of the doctors notes from GFG's hospitalization:

She was admitted to phosp with a GAF score of 35.

She was discharged when she reached a GAF of 50.

At that score...attending doc advised us to "just keep doing whatever you are doing".

So I guess they feel that she is stable enough.
