I get a call from difficult child 3's school. She's having another meltdown and they can't put her on the bus, can I come and get her? I can't because Weeble's new occupational therapist was starting (this was Monday) and I can't get in touch with her. I'll send my sister. Ok, thanks. And off she goes with my Dad so that they don't have to park near the school illegally.
I call the school to let them know that they're almost there. "Ok, thanks!".
My sister pulls up and there are police cars and an ambulance. They're bussing her to the ER because she took her mp3 headphones and pulled them around her neck. To all of you who are used to the antics of difficult child 1, "SOUND FAMILIAR???!!!"
My dad comes home to sit with Weeble and the Occupational Therapist (OT) while I head to the local ER. I get there at 3:15. At 10:00, I call AH and tell him I need him to meet me there as they're going to transfer her to their mainsite (about 8 miles away), the baby was still awake, and I needed my insulin. He came and went with her to the other hospital. We agreed he would stay with her til morning because I had to get difficult child 2 to school in the morning and if they found a bed for her in peds, he call me. I head to the other hospital. at 8:00 am to let him go home. difficult child 1 calls the house and is told that difficult child 3 is in the hospital. for a meltdown at school. I finally get home with difficult child 3 at 4:00.
difficult child 1 calls and talks to me about how he's going to keep working really hard at behaving. Asks how difficult child 3 is doing, if she's home, etc. Yes she is, it's over and done with. Although they wanted to admit her to "some facility in the 5 boroughs, it's not something they can medicate for, it's behavioral". Not again! This is why difficult child 1 keeps getting kicked out of the various phosps!!! Why check her in if they can't do anything there? Why get her in the same habits as difficult child 1? I had to provide a written statement as to why I thought it was a better idea to follow up with her therapist (with her permission) and psychiatrist.
I just got a call from the Comm. Residence that difficult child 1 lives in. He's being bussed to the psychiatric ER because of a major meltdown. I told her that I think he's jealous because of difficult child 3 getting the attention and punishing us because she used HIS method.
I swear...you just can't make this stuff up! I'm on call in case I have to sign him in for admission.
I'm running away from home...anyone with me?
