Well, I got the phone call yesterday afternoon, my insurance company has approved the special brain scan the doctor wants to do on difficult child. doctor had said Monday that if we didn't get it approved now, we would just wait for him to be on Medicaid and then we would for sure get it. I will have to pick difficult child up from the psychiatric hospital this coming Monday morning and take him for the test at one of the local hospitals that has a state of the art Nuclear medicine facility. He will have to be off of his medicine for the weekend.
I went to a therapy session at the psychiatric hospital yesterday afternoon where I found out that difficult child has been seeing things for quite some time. The doctor does know about it now, but difficult child hadn't told me because he was scared what it would mean. It is my understanding that this was going on before he was inpatient last time, but he never revealed it to anyone - he always said no he wasn't seeing things. No wonder the poor kid has been so scared!
As of this last Monday there was about 7-10 days left of insurance coverage through my work left. The plan is that he will have to be home 1 night (my daughter and I are not looking forward to this at all) and then go into the acute portion of the state facility here in town, awaiting room in the residential portion of the same facility. The doctor is supposed to be finalizing these plans, but the doctor over there did say they had a room in the acute portion for him.
I can't wait for this test so we can see what is going on in there. doctor said on Monday when I met with him that he cant wait to see in his brain. There is history of both schizophrenia and bi-polar in my family, so who knows.
