[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 277436, member: 6546"] Hello all-- As you are aware, difficult child's scary behaviors got her admitted to psychiatric hospital last Thursday for evaluation and treatment....she is still there--so I feel like they are taking a lot of time with her and really trying to look into some of these behaviors. However, when I speak with difficult child on the phone....the things she is telling me don't make any sense at all. She says she was tested for eating disorders and now the testing is all finished and she is fine and she can come home as soon as we are ready to pick her up. Anger and rage is no longer a problem. She feels she has all of her issues under control. The SW already told her "good-bye" and "good luck". She has come so far in therapy that no follow-up care or counseling or medications is even needed. Everything is wonderful. Obviously, a lot of hopeful talk.... When I call and speak with a nurse on the unit to try and get information--I get told "O she's doing great!"....which is not really the detail I am interested in hearing. So I am wondering--should I be pushing for a lot more information from the docs and therapists at this point? Or should I trust that they will contact me with any important information such as test results or medication changes? I obviously don't want to take difficult child's word for how things are going....but I do feel a little dumb calling and saying "I want to verify what my daughter said about........" How worried should I be? :confused1: --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
