Hi there and thanks so much for checking in
We've been having a rough time still.
Boo is still raging often. The word "No" or "Stop" to him sets him off every time
This morning I was determined to "hold" him in a Time out (not a punishment but a "you need to stop destroying the house and hurting everyone). He is honestly very strong and very heavy. He's only 4 but he's got to be close to 60 lbs and when he's thrashing it's hard to pick him up without getting socked or bit
He managed this morning to knock over my venti iced mocha off the computer desk onto the carpet......then threw the lamp in my room and in the living room. He threw two big cups of ice water on the floor and this is all before 11am!
He's calm now but who knows what will set him off next
I still haven't talked to the psychiatrist. We've been playing phone tag. I am going to have him paged again today. I feel up against a wall right now. We have very limited resources around here (So Cal) for partial hospitalization programs.
The thing is, there are several hospitals BUT....there are very few physicians, etc qualified to help Boo. He is very complicated. Most of the evaluators he's seen has said he's needed behavioral mod. BUT they are WRONG. He does need behavior mod but FIRST they need to treat his extreme anxiety. He responds to the behavior mod because he's paranoid they will hurt him if he doesn't. He is convinced everyone is out to hurt him. It's just a mess
