Little Bear was admitted last tuesday, and I am still an emotional wreck. I have some questions that I was hoping some of you can answer. It was definitly for the best because Little Bear was raging that day in his Dr. office and had to go by ambulance. I felt like I was in a daze. It seems so quiet at our house right now, and we all miss him so much.
We went for our first visitation tonight and I was expecting this wonderful reunion but instead he was so restless and anxious to get back to his new friends and his activity that he wanted to leave us after about 10 min and go back to his unit.
Is this a normal reaction? Is there something wrong that he didn't want to spend time with- us?
I was hoping this would be a time to get all his medications on track again because he went through a growth spurt and had been becoming too aggressive to be managed at home. Now i am worried he will love it so much there that he wont want to come home. I am also wondering what child I will get back from all this.
I know part of his restlessness is that he just came off his Intuniv because they are going another route, but it really did break my heart knowing he didn't want to spend every minute of the visitation hour with me.
I think I just need reassurance or words of wisdom... anything will do at this point.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
