[QUOTE="klmno, post: 235497, member: 3699"] I love that story about Wiz, Susie! What you tried to teach him is similar to what I'm trying to teach my son. None of us are perfect. I have called and left message for sw to call me. My primary concern right now is making sure they don't discharge difficult child just yet. This happened in Dec because apparently the psychiatrist in charge (and who decides on admission and discharge) doesn't talk to the sw or read her notes from the family meeting. If we can't get him in some place, or get emergency county team meeting lined up (which I know can't be done today), I at least want these recommendations in writing so that I can present them with letters from therapist and regular psychiatrist. I will call the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) shortly. At this point I think it's important to get him in somewhere quick on the basis of needing medication stabilization (it's a little hhard for the PO to over-ride that) and if he needs moved, then worry about moving him. Because he's a typical teen except for certain periods of time, whn quite frankly the medications have never completely controlled, the profs seem to be convinced that if medications were right, difficult child would be functioning fine and needs some interventions to manage it all, but not extreme bahavior management. I would think that 2-3 mos would give them enough time to figure out if that's completely true or not. Especially since late winter/early spring is his most manic and difficult period. So, if they can get him thru that period successfully on medications, fine. If not, I would certainly think they would recommend something else- or a longer stay if needed. I can make sure they are aware of that. Most are willing to at least write out recommendations even if they can't provide them. [/QUOTE]
