A maze of Grace - that about sums it up
Tuesday was a bad bad day. I had to call 911 on difficult child II (11). He was raging and literally jumped from the top of the steps and landed on my head, had me by the hair and was just punching me. difficult child I got him off and got a nasty bite on his leg from doing so. When difficult child II lunged for the knife block I knew it was time to call. It scared me and even scared difficult child I. After 3 officers had finally calmed him down, We went to ER (again) at 5PM yesterday, he was fine for the most part while we were there (again), and he was finally transorted to a facility an hour away at 12 noon today. I am running on 3 hours of sleep, and I am fried. I refused to send him to the hospital they had him in last year, and yesterday they were the only one's with an open bed (how ironic). So I opted to be "difficult", and although he's an hour away, he's in a better program. The hospital he is in is a full hospital and the walls are painted with children's murals vs. black chipped paint and vulger writtings. There is Art Therapy, Music Therapy, educational presentations etc. vs sitting on ripped couches watching MTV all day. I am still worried for his safety, it's a ward for 5 - 17 yo's, which seems to be the case with every program in NJ, sigh...........but difficult child II couldn't wait to be there, it is more tramatic for me then him. I could keep going on but I need sleep.
