[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 247998, member: 3419"] [I]that does not spell defeat. Simply balance.[/I] I agree with-Steely. You are in a place right now where it's hard, if not impossible, to see the outcome of your situation. You feel trapped and useless. But you are still your difficult child's mom. I don't know what kind of psychiatric evaluation's these places do, but other people here have given you some of their experience. I have to say, counting backward by 7s would be my worst nightmare! I had to do it once when I was put under anesthesia. Everyone made a joke out of it because I started counting on my fingers. I said, "Wait, if I don't do this, does that mean I don't get my surgery?" They had my dad do it for his last Alzheimer's evaluation, too. He did very poorly. He had regressed to the point to where he didn't know what day it was, who the president was, or what bldg he was in. If it's anything like the test he took, you will have no problem at all. I know what it feels like to spend every waking hr thinking and worrying about your difficult child. I'm here at 1 a.m., living proof of it. My difficult child was in the kitchen playing Sims. :( He's got to get up in 6 hrs. So do I. I didn't sign up for this! But I'm going through it. We all are. Please get some sleep and don't make any rash decisions. I understand from your notes, how frustrating it is. I would be hopping mad. But all you can do, as everyone has said, is document, document, document. And then jump through hoops. You are dealing with-the gov't, after all. [/QUOTE]
