So tomorrow is d day. Discharge day. difficult child has been gone since November 7th. He has made some amazing progress and I hope it carrys over. He is so much more stable, and on less medications when he went in.
We had a huge wrap meeting today at the school. They had to move to a bigger room. There were about 10 people present and difficult child and family therapist on conference call.
difficult child was shy at first, I think he had a hard time talking to people he could not see. Family therapist came in late and we introduced people again. Gg then had gotten used to the conference call thing. He spoke to everyone and appropriately. He spoke of his goals and how he was doing with them, thanked his mentor fire sending him gifts, told the director of the school why he thought he would do better at school.
At the end of the call he told me he loved me. In front of everyone, and I had not said it first, I did not want to embarrass him.
We have a ton of appts in the next several weeks, and I know the transition home will be hard. We meet with the school friday to figure out if he will start full days our partial days of school. His skills builder will go to school with him for 2 hrs a day for the first 4 days during lunch to help with unstructured time and 2 days a week after that. If he is having a bad day when skills builder is not there the plan is to ask him to help in the lunchroom or office during lunch, that way he is not punished and he likes to help people so I feel good about that.
I want to thank you all for your support during this difficult time, it had helped me more than I can say.
