[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 246993, member: 1233"] It is so hard to hospitalize your child. But right now you ARE doing the right thing. Not sure how big he is, but I am sure that he is big enough to present a real danger to himself, you and everyone else in the car (and in other cars) with behavior like trying to jump out. It is probably time that you make sure you have another adult in the car when trying to take him to the hospital in the future. He really NEEDS more help than can be provided at home right now (just based on trying to jump out of the car). If he is in the hospital he will be monitored closely and hopefully they can find the right medication combo AND other interventions to help the entire family. Often kids settle into the hospital routine fairly well. It is a very structured setting and many of our difficult children respond well to that. It also has them busy almost all day, so he won't be sitting around for hours missing you. While he is in the hospital, take time to recharge some of YOUR batteries. Do something nice for yourself. It is important to take care of Mom too. [/QUOTE]
