[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 65834, member: 3211"] Janna, I am sending many hugs your way this morning. I, too, feel the pain in your words. My eyes are welling up. I thought about you several times yesterday. The fortunate thing is that the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) sounds like a good one with a great program - the horses, etc. I don't know how many times I have had the call from difficult child while he was in the psychiatric hospital - crying, trying to tell me what happened, the whole time beating himself up about it. Awful, I know, but Dylan will settle in - the strict routine in itself can help with them settling. I know that 2 weeks on these same medications seems like a long time - by the time we make the decision to have our difficult children admitted to a program, we are ready for some action - immediate changes in what we're doing so we can begin the improvements. Docs on the other hand, are more cautious and impartial (not exactly the word I want to use) when it comes to the kids. We love them - they do not. If Dylan settles right into the routine, etc. and the Dr. has a chance to see him in the setting, he may not wait 2 weeks before making a change. Just know there are many, many of us here in support. Take care of yourself right now. [img]:angel:[/img] [/QUOTE]
