Janet- yeah can I take a vacation to pick up the boxes??? Here your part of the country is beautiful!!! I agree with your post. We have been looking into school and hospitals, psychiatrists etc, just getting a list together first.
SRL- I asked psychiatrist in Chicago about this and because she will not be able to do a face to face often enough, she feels she really can not properly advise us on how to medicate difficult child, and pediatrician feels she is afraid of the possiblity of malpractice. She said as her psychiatrist she would want to see her a lot more frequently to feel confident about her treatment. Which I love and I wish she was closer!!! She is really good.
Oh I am just flustered... why is it so hard? husband thinks we should just keep her on the Abilify and wait to add anything else until we find a new psychiatrist, be it here or Tucson. But I worry what if the Abilify peters out and she needs something else or she gets worse? She needs a mood stabilizer now, but do we just deal until the move?
thanks sometimes just venting and hearing what you all think helps...
