yup i did. i'm offically a pyscho mom. warrior mom minus a few cards in my deck. difficult child was a wreck tonight that she didnt' get to see is. (expected that) due to her not completing her dinner after 5 hours.
she was upset, in her room, angry, crying, hurt. nurse enters room and difficult child asks for a tissue, nurse responds No, you cannot get out of bed to get a tissue.
difficult child cries some more (by the way all on video that is in rm), difficult child than says i think i'm going to throw up i feel really sick. (anxiety ridden i'm sure;symptomatic)
nurse says no difficult child (nasty) you can't go to bathroom. difficult child says i think i'm going to throw up on the flr. nurse says well i'm not going to lose my job for you!
a few other choice things occured. long story short i got in my truck with-sweats and tee on and drove up to hospital. i slipped in thru e.r. entrance and parked my truck in ambulance spot. i went up to edr. a phone call wasn't going to do it this time around.
i got caught by security guard who by the way wound up being very cool. he let me thru to the unit. took nurse outside so difficult child wound't know i was on the flr. and planted her, told her what is acceptable and what is not acceptable behavior towards an eleven year old who is emotional and escalating. told her how to de escalate instead of making it worse. told her that i will be speaking to the head pyschdoc on monday a.m. regarding this incident.
explained to her i do not care if you have an unhappy marriage, miserable kids, pain in your feet or anything else. this is your job and being professional is not an option it is mandatory check your issues at the door, and your baggage and pick it up when you are heading home.
head nurse came out. she apologized, stated will handle nasty nurse and also document everything. stated how sorry she was and all points were valid. i told her i will be addressing all of this monday at my mtg. with-head of program.
are these ppl serious? do they not get that i will do just about anything for this kid? i wanted to crack her head into the wall yet i calmed myself down before i got up there. thank goodness for the ten min. ride and for me being here close to hotel. gotta work all these kinks out and nasty junk if i'm going to chose to leave her there and head back home in 3 days.

(sorry, poor shot at humor - figured you could use a chuckle)
They should know better than to mess with a warrior mom!
Way To Go, Jena!!!!
