[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 412053, member: 1233"] If you are desperate, this may be helpful in preventing the docs from discharging C. The sitters know she is disturbed. Try getting them to push her to do things she doesn't want to. Even just turning off the tv to read or play a game. When you are there, try insisting that she do soemthing. If you know something relatively "normal" like doing workbook pages or whatever that sometimes provokes her, try bringing it and getting ehr to do it. I am NOT suggesting this to be mean to her (or you). It will make her show her behaviors in a way that the hospital will document. If they have it documented and then say she is "stable" and they release her, then they can be held accountabel if she hurts someone. When my son was in the psychiatric hospital they wanted to release him after a few weeks. He was still honeymooning and had shown NONE of his problem behaviors to them. I triggered him in a therapy session. It was awful - he spewed all that ugly awfulness out at me. It gave them enough reasons to keep him and then they could see and document the problems we saw - which meant they could try to treat him. with-o seeing these things they could never have treated him. It won't be fun, likely will be scary and certainly will be traumatic for you. But it might be enough to get them to keep her longer or to speed up her placement. You will feel like you are a horrible parent but in reality it takes a very strong parent to do this. I did it to try to save my son, to get him help. You would do it for the same reason and to try to save the rest of you from her problems. [/QUOTE]
