first the positives....one, they are actively pursuing an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement for him. two, it's likely he'll get placed at the one for the Deaf (a huge issue i'd think). three, you are getting more support in the home including husband's hours being adjusted.
negatives...why is him being a diabetic such an issue for any Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? they have to have a nurse or paramedic on staff 24/7 i would think. what if a child gets seriously hurt. they need someone medical close at hand. they can arrange for him to be transported to a diabeties specialist i would think.
i know you're scared about having him home again....i know i would be. make sure you keep your cell phone by you at all times & program in 911 so it's a button to get to them. get a safety plan in place before he comes home. sit with-husband today & discuss what the options would be.
is there a crisis team you can call?? get them on speed dial too...home phone & cell.
holding on to good thoughts for you.
what are they saying about the voices in his head? do they think this is auditory hallucinations??? no medication changes except the increase in the geodon?
