[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 506263, member: 13204"] Lost, I am so very sorry that you had to find us but I am glad that you did. husband and I just recently had to call the police on our difficult child. She was refusing to go to her Partial hospital. Program. They cam to the house and were willing to take her down to the program if she didn't go willingly. It was a hard call to make but I am so glad that we did. Just today we had to take her down to the ER and have her admitted to the psychiatric hospital. When and if you decide to take him to the hospital. you will meet with someone who will ask you son if he wants to hurt himself or others, and then when he gets to the behavioral health ER (if your hospital has one) you will meet with a social worker and an MD. they will ask you all kinds of questions as well as your son. The MD will do a quick one over on him. Then the decision is usually made as to whether or not they will admit him or recommend other services. This sounds like it is a quick process. Not so much. We were at the hospital. for a little over 6 hours. But, please do not let this discourage you. Also, if you are fearful of him, you can refuse to bring him home. I did not do this on our first visit to the hospital. This time I told them I did not feel safe to bring her home, and that she HAD to stay. They found a bed for her. I hope that you can call tomorrow if needed and take him to the hospital. It is a hard thing to do, but it sounds like it is something he needs right now. [/QUOTE]
