[QUOTE="jal, post: 238363, member: 3477"] Many hugs being sent to you. The first time my difficult child was hospitalized he just turned 6 and he was there for 3 weeks. My difficult child is also recently diagnosis'd as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-Aspergers with-anxiety. He was before being treated as bipolar/ADHD. husband and I cried when we left him. He cried too, not understanding why he was really there. We were doing a medication wash and he became unsafe. This child had never been away from us except for a 5 day vaca husband and I had when he was around 3. He got so that he stopped calling us every night and just went about his business there. He got comfortable. Little kids (for the most part) adapt to their surroundings. I was afraid it would scar him too, but it hasn't (they are so resilient). Once in a great while he will refer to "remember when I was in the hospital" or "why did I go to the hospital?", but he never reflects on it as a negative experience. It will be OK, and you know what you are doing is best. Good luck to you and your child. [/QUOTE]
