[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 760468, member: 22840"] Thank you so much for the replies all. Things are still very fluid right now. My son has been transferred to the other hospital. One that offers a couple of wards for people of the 'involuntary admittance' persuasion. This hospital seems to be more of a holding cell, jail, while trying medication, no therapy, no activities. It's a non-profit with over worked and underappreciated employees as far as I can tell. Last night I got to hear a very loud shouting argument during a phone call from my son. And then after a crashing sound, I guess something, or someone was thrown, my son told me he had to get off of the phone because "a fight was breaking out". My left eye is still twitching as I write about this but my son didn't seem to be phased during our couple of short conversations today. I didn't bring it up, neither did he. From the last call from him tonight he has not seen the clothes I dropped off much earlier today. He's been in the same clothes since Wednesday now. Hopefully they will give him what I dropped off prior to Monday when he's supposed to have his first talk with a social worker there, when he will be able to sign the paperwork that says I can talk to them about his care. It's a little thing in the grand scheme of things but a mother thing, as so many here know. He has a different life than most of us are used to but a better life than the streets I'm sure, no, I know, and am grateful for. I'm working on trying to get him into an intensive outpatient program back in the area, if one is available now. Covid is still being used as a concern in my area, I think mostly from our being left out in the past so there's an over abundance of caution because they kind of know from experience this area is on it's own if things tick up in the future. I'll probably know by the end of Monday as long as people are continuing to talk to me as they have in the last couple days without pulling the HIPPA card. Thank you all again for the hugs, support and love, so much. I need it, appreciate it, feel it more than most could know, but you do. You are my life line. You allow me that other side, the one that brings the relief to be the sobbing emotional mess of a mom so worried about her son verses the overly responsible, wall up, functioning person when dealing with this kind of difficult situation with the professionals. You are my human connection for sure, thanks again, love and peace to you. [/QUOTE]
