That sounds like very limited visiting hours. I visited Kiddo every day except one while she was in to get stabilized. She'd had a bad reaction to Celexa followed by a worse reaction to Risperdal. First call the suggested medication was Celexa and I nearly hit the roof. Needless to say my "No," involved a few extra not too nice words. Ours also had a reasonably early bedtime (unless you have a kid that doesn't sleep without their nighttime medications, y'all know what I mean). Seems not too parents at ours visit very often or call too often, and my concerns got a good reception from the staff (never met the docs even once, I have a lot more respect for the staff needless to say!). I called every night to talk to her or check on her after visiting, too. I didn't sleep until I knew she was sleeping, even the night she really went ballistic and had to be sedated.


It's a rough time for everyone involved, hang in there.
