[QUOTE="seriously, post: 431050, member: 11920"] Yes he's signed up for both camps. I am crossing my fingers that he will be able to go. It would be so sad if he couldn't. next year will be his last year at Oasis but he can be a CIT at the camp up here. This psychiatrist is a match made in heaven for us. Won't go into details but her family and ours are very similar including kids with hearing loss. Plus she specializes in Bipolar. I was so relieved I nearly cried. I knew last Thursday he needed hospitalization but this one was full and wouldn't do an intake and our community psychiatrist has not been thrilled with the other choices so we did our best at home. but it was scary in ways it hasn't been before and I am thankful she didn't hesitate to keep him. She is hitting him big time with medication changes. The depakote he just started will be bid for 2500 mg/day total. And she's upping the geodon to the max of 160 mg/day. Along with the sedation at night to get him to sleep. She wanted to drop the topomax completely but I objected because it kicked his migraines. She she's leaving that at 25 mg. We'll see how it goes. I don't know if we'll be able to get him to take those doses at home if they make him really sedated. But cross that bridge when/if we come to it. [/QUOTE]
