[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 113481, member: 3072"] Sara, Toss as many ideas as you want....we invite all kinds of ideas [img]:smile:[/img] Yes, we know that on some levels, this may be as good as it gets for her. From what little I've found on researching her particular type of surgery (hemispherectomy), I've not found much that deals with psychiatric issues after surgery. I'll have to run some more searches. Her old neuro told us that with her medical background, its not surprising that we see behavior issues and thats as far as he would go with it. So, we're looking elsewhere right now. We've been to neuro rehab but with her mood being so unstable, its difficult for anyone to work with her other than Occupational Therapist (OT) and PT. And there's also the added physcial aggression and if she's "in the mood", I don't want to be in the van alone with her because she's so unpredicatable. What we and our case manager would love to do is get her into a residential program that works with kids with her deficits and helps train her. Currently there is nothing in our state for brain injury but the closest match would be a home with kids with asperger's. The state will not approve it at this time because we're still in the middle of utilizing the in home supports---pointless program at this point as they were only approved for a few hours a week.
