[QUOTE="carolinablonde, post: 411327, member: 11283"] Thank you all for the amazing responses. I appreciate so much the time that you took to help us. C did end up coming home Wednesday evening. We took many precautions to make sure everyone was safe. Of course, she was perfect the first day. Tonight my daughter had soccer practice and we all went. C got wound up and that's usually when she ends up having issues. We had dinner when we got home and she was told that after dinner she needed to take some quiet time in her room to settle down. She was ok with that. We told her she needed to take her medications. She got upset about something (I don't even know what it was) and said she wasn't going to take them. She threatened to run and husband had to restrain her. She was hitting him, trying to headbutt him in the face..etc...We asked her again to take her medications. She refused. This went on for awhile. She then said if he would let her go she would take the medications and go to her room. Stupidly, we believed her. She stood up, took the medications and bolted out the door. We called the police immediately. 5 cop cars and a search dog later, she was found 2 miles away. The officer had told husband to go to the magistrate and get an order for involuntary committment. He was on his way to do that when they found her. So, he came back, picked her up and they are now back at the hospital. The officer that helped us works there off duty, so he gave husband his card in case they need to talk to him. The hospital that we take her to does not have a child psychiatric unit so they sometimes try to just send her home. So, she made it 48 hours. I am home with the other 3 girls and husband is missing work...again. So, that's where things are right now. At least she'll be back in the hospital(hopefully), and we'll have some more time to get things set up in residential for her. Thanks again everyone! [/QUOTE]
