[QUOTE="nvts, post: 180654, member: 3814"] Carla! I'm so sorry about your grandma - when it rains it pours. Keep in mind, this gives you someone watching difficult child in the psychiatric hospital. 24/7 now. 7 bouts of cancer - what a strong woman! Celebrate her life, she sounds like she would have wanted that! I for one think the comment about difficult child being "textbook" bipolar. Some of us go YEARS looking for the right diagnosis. At least now they have direction. For what it's worth, we took difficult child 1 off Concerta (54 mgs a day) overnight. It seems that stims are "fast in/fast out" which means that they start to work for the number of hours they're supposed to right away, and when time's up, they're out of your system - basically so kids can sleep at night. He's off all stims and is taking 2 mgs of Abilify 2x's a day. Different kid altogether! Again, my prayers for you and your family at this time. Oh and by the way, you've already had your 3. difficult child's meltdown, difficult child's hospitalization and now grandma. beth [/QUOTE]
