[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 431026, member: 1233"] I am SO glad they are keeping him and she is an awesome psychiatrist!!!! I did not know he has autoimmune disease or thyroid problems in the family history. I would have mentioned the thyroid probls after the choking incident if I had. I have autoimmune thyroiditis and my thyroid doesn't work at all. It is essentially dead, though not decaying or anything. Just won't ever work according to the endocrine doctor. All my docs say this is the BEST type of autoimmune disorder because it is so easy and cheap to replaced the thyroid medications. For a few people, a small percent of the population, the synthetic thyroid hormone does not work well. These people inevitable need to be put on Armour Thyroid - which is still cheap. Last time I checked the price (because my doctor was considering it for me) it was about fifteen bucks a month with a free rx discount card. They are easily available on the web if you don't have insurance to apy for medications. The change in how you feel take a couple of weeks but makes a big difference. The choking incident could cause other thyroid problems if he has some already. Either way, this place sounds like where he needs to be. It is so dumb that intake is done by someone who makes ten bucks and hour - mosst of the time the psychiatrists then tell you that you should have admitted them earlier, when the problems began, but you couldn't because the intake people won't let you. So stupid a way to runt hings, in my opinion. anyway, I hoep he can be stabilized quickly and the principal is made to know how she and the stupid sp ed teacher who did almost nothing endangered his life by not calling 911 right away! they also need to knwo that this has liekly caused his need for hospitalization in the psychiatric hospital AND may ahve caused PTSD in him. I still, to this day, have flashbacks to my brother trying to drown me when I was 12. Not often anymore, but until I got help when I was 18 they happened a LOT. Also flashbacks to other things, but water in my face in the shower was a huge problem for years because of what he did (choked me and held my head face up under the tub faucet until the babysitter pulled him off - we had a sitter coming in every day because he was so violent with me even though he was 14 and I was 12.). This is something that you will need to watch for with him for a while. (((((hugs))))) Take time while he is in the psychiatric hospital to rest and recover and recharge your batteries. [/QUOTE]
