[QUOTE="xlagirl, post: 359765"] Hi Mandy, My little guy is in the psychiatric hospital right now too! This is his 1st hospitalization too. I know exactly what you mean when you say the house is sooooo quiet! It makes me so sad not to have him home. He was originally suppose to be there about 3-5 days but he had some rages while in the psychiatric hospital so they have to stabalize him first. I think he may come home tomorrow...which would make it 8 days! I have been going to visit almost everyday and I call him twice a day during phone hours too. The first couple times that I went to visit, he didn't have much to say and he was really paying attention to the other kids in the visiting room. I stayed the whole hour though and made him sit with me. By the second visit I figured out that by bringing card games, board games, and books to read that I could keep his attention during the whole visit. You should try that too! They love to interact with you during your visits. Also, be sure to always tell him positive things while your there. And stay strong....for him! That is the best place for him and don't feel guilty! Just FYI - I brought my son some comfort gifts each time I came to visit. One time it was a soft stuffed elephant for him to sleep with, Another time it was his favorite pillow and blanket. Another time it was a new card game and two books that we could read together. He loved playing "go fish" with me! ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
