[QUOTE="buddy, post: 475450, member: 12886"] first....phn got rent approved. it will be sent this week so i dont have to worry abt it being late.! doctor is still planning for friday discharge. if levels are good. Went to "family therapy" today (last week he just came in, kicked my shin, pounded my arm and was escourted out) Today he was sitting first, had planned to talk about next pass, etc. I went in and he asked about halloween candy first, and second and third. I explained his cousin got him a bucket of candy and it is in the car. he can pick some out after we talk, etc. He was mad it wasn't in a bag like last year, why didn't I go and do it for him so that it was the same, etc. I explained, he started clenching his fists, therapist asked if he was angry and he said yes and she asked if he needed to go back and he said yes and got up and went. Complication, they decided to get a behavior analysist/psychologist to do that test again while our doctor was there, I said NO but then he already had not had his medications, so I said fine get the data and they promised he would have medications (full dose) by 930. I stayed to make sure. doctor said after the mistake on Sat. (they thought they were supposed to only look for TICs) , they didn't get the original information. So, now they will have that data..and he said it will only really help others because they can obviously see that he is a danger to himself mostly (too impulsive) and others and mostly important in my humble opinion he can't function to do anything fun like a kid should be able to do when he is off the Concerta. But of course ths delay in medications didn't help our family sesion go well. I was thinking about you guys saying the adderal xr was different from short acting and difficult child had been on ritalin every 3.5 hours for a long time after being on concerta and our thinking we had the dose wrong...but it was easier to adjust the ritalin and the we stuck with it. after a couple of years we decided to go back to concerta so he would not have to have so many interruptions (nurse issues) in school. Now I am wondering if, since we did that middle of last year, and that is when we had to do the new behavior plan....now maybe that was the culprit? I am going to bring it up next time I talk to the doctor. We probaby wont change it until he is back with dr. K the outpatient psychiatrist we love. difficult child's doctor knew I was there, came and talked to me a long time. Really nice guy. Is very concerned about difficult child and this change in behavior. But says they are seeing tons of progress with is not perseverating so much on his anger over my putting him there and when they ask him to stop something or leave an area he doesn't blow up and go destroy things... they need to plan passes to make sure he is safe coming home. they are also helping to plan for if monday at school goes badly, not just issues but he is unmanagable, what is plan b,c... so we will have that in place before friday. i almost am hoping for snow because it takes one battle off my list,,, he wont see/hear as many kids outside and want to run to them...
