[QUOTE="seriously, post: 433733, member: 11920"] He was already at therapeutic level when they released him. Supposedly that's one reason they set him freeeeee. We drew all the standing labs today and I asked the peds to add valproic acid level so we should know by Friday whether he's still there or not and whether the LFT's are OK too. They didn't draw the LFT's when he was in psychiatric hospital after telling me they were going to. [I]That[/I] ticked me off. I found out when I picked him up and made them give me a copy of his labs. Had to get a little pushy with the nurses to get a copy of his labs. I assume it's a rare request there cause they all looked at each other like I had asked for a blue walrus. Thank goodness the medications nurse showed up and they asked him. He was like ' sure why not?' and then he asked me why I wanted them. I told him we were due to run his every other month labs and if they had done them all then he wouldn't have to get stuck again. Plus I could pass the results on to his peds and GI. (I had already tried to explain this to the other staff). The medications nurse was like - hey that's a good idea and told the other nurse to make me a copy of everything. Then I had to stand there and say - yes I want those and yes I want those and yes I want the thyroid panel... Most of the results were fine but his lymphs are up and his platelets were up a little. Probably just dehydration and stress especially since his hematocrit was also down but not the Hgb. Hope your kiddos are holding steady with their other stuff. Every few nights I have a nightmare about everything blowing up at once... [/QUOTE]
