Hi, my name is Jill and I have been a member of these forums before but had to reregister because I couldn't remember my info.
We had to put my DS in the hospital last night. I can't describe to you the pain I am feeling. This is the first time he has been hospitalized. He is 11 yrs old and has adhd, bipolar and odd. We take him to weekly therapy and he sees a psychiatrist...has been since he was 6 yrs old. NOTHING seems to be working and yesterday we had no choice.
He got mad at me and tried to jump out of the car when it was moving. This has happened before but we didn't hospitalize him. When he found out he was staying at the hospital he flipped out and said some very hurtful things...it's not like he hasn't said things like that before, but it just made me feel so so bad.
Someone please tell me that I am doing the right thing. He just looked so sad and scared when we left him. I am hoping he won't be in long. If I am not happy with the care he is getting do I have th right to check him out? I am going to give it at least a week before making that decision.
Any tips for first timers?
