Ya I know huh. I am so exhausted that I left after half hour with him today. husband came straight home without going to see the son. He says I didn't say he needs to. Well I didn't ask you to go pee and poop either and you know to do it?
Sigh.. Sometimes I don't know how men are wired.

decided to stay in my room and sit here with the computer. Ididn't even take my treats out of the cupboard. we have signs for our doors if we have treats so the kids dont knock if there is no sign. I hope I dont actually have to ignore anyone who doesn't know the system. I hear tons of laughs and silly screams out side. yup it sucks. what are the kids on his hospital unit doing? what is your little one doing?

The nurse told me this year they are not celebrating with costumes.
Just for a simple Halloween we can see how sucks some parents doesnt care about how their behavior affect their little one.
I sat outside with one of my dog for an hour with the candies. Some kids don't even greet you and go straight to the candies and no thanks either. Most greeted, asked permission and asked how many candies they can have and thanked you. Even one family of four kids, I told them I wanted to take their picture to show my son cos he is in hospital. One says I hope our costumes will cheer him up and the little one says I hope he feels better.
And I walked into the house to get a drink. I saw another family with 3 kids came up and they looked around, swept all candies away. I stood at my window waving at them. I have no problems you want to take all candies but it's you that is teaching your youngest the greed.
My little one went out with dad and sister for almost 2 hours now,
I m going to call my difficult child to wish him a goodnight

He says they are watching movie and no Halloween celebration. Am I too hard on him? Couldn't I just let him celebrate Halloween at home?
Gosh my right mental told me I did a right decision but the guilt with the bad devil is filling me up with guilts.
What the f is wrong with me. I can put on a strong front the whole day to advocate for him and here I am sitting here hating myself

Oh my, I fight those thoughts hard too. Lots of mommy guilt to go around. I could have fought for a pass, I could have lied and said he didn't hit me yesterday, but they are both where they need to be so we can help them have a better year! I am going to choose not to second guess that decision anymore. My son is happy that his cousins are going to get him candy at least. I think he finally resigned himself to the situation and decided to make the most of it. I think I am gonna get taco bell now...haha. want some?

Awesome job with telling the hospital exactly what YOUR kid needs!!!! AWESOME news :)

Besides ADHD tests, what others will they give him? He should have "full" psychological exam, that consists of appx 4 hours. In addition while he is on the unit, they doctors should be noting any cycling of moods, or psychological abnormalities, that help them reach a better conclusion in medicating them.

You are on the right track with him....don't let them release him until you have everything you need. Follow up care, a Dr, the proper medications, etc.

As for him missing Halloween - it might be that you are being more nostalgic than he is sad about missing the holiday? You know? Not that I am judging - cause I have those same feelings even today - but it helps to keep it all in perspective. He is probably not as upset as you are.....and is watching a scary movie and eating candy on the unit.....
:hangin:HUGS :<

psychiatrist in psychiatric hospital says neuropsychologist testing too.
They will keep me posted everyday. I did mention that I need someone to monitor his mood changes so we can work out something
