Hi everyone! Haven't been on - the regular "stuff" hit the fan and I had to thin out my activities to stay on top of the usual garbage from the demons! I just need to make sure that you all know that I've kept all of you in my thoughts, prayers and heart and miss so many of you...in truth, I...

For those of you who remember, I had the Weeble over 3 years ago...as time has marched on, she's required speech, Occupational Therapist (OT) and PT. The Dept. of Ed (after she aged out of Early Intervention) also gave her a Special Education Itinerant Teacher (SEIT) who comes to the house 3 days a week for a total of 5...

It's been nuts...but I think of you guys and wanted to stop in...I've been checking Early Childhood (and I was errant on that too for a while)...the insanity just wouldn't stop. Want to say "hi" and will be back in more often! Hope everyone's doing well! I missed you! Beth

JKF is going before the court tomorrow to try and have her difficult child set up in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). As many of us know, that's a really difficult decision to come to on our own. Unfortunately, she's having to deal with everyone in authority fighting her to have her take him home. Could we all do a circle for...

AH took the kids from 10 o'clock this morning for their 1st overnight with him since he moved out 15 mos. ago. They're not coming back until 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I don't feel bad...I don't miss anyone...I told my best friend that I wouldn't ride to the hospital to wait for her neice...

DRKW posted the following on the previous thread about hitting biting etc. Please welcome her! "I have a 5.5 yr old LW who we have struggled with for a while on the constant crying, whining, and hitting. It has escalated recently. He has a language comprehension issue we are helping with but...

Hi! Sorry I've been so "amongst the missing" contingent! I've mostly been kicking around the ECZ Forum because time is constantly fleeting (who's isn't? lol!). Anyway, I have a question about planning the summer when you have a child in RTFs or RTCs. difficult child 1 is currently in a psychiatric hospital and will...

Alright: a quick up to dater: difficult child 1 is back in the psychiatric hospital. upstate. He was explosive at the Comm. Residence, hurting himself so that he'd end up at the ER then over to the psychiatric ER. Turns out he's doing because he was told (by me) that if he or his sister ended up in the psychiatric hospital I won't come to...

Hi! As most of you know, AH and I split up almost a year ago (this month). While nothing's been settled, I've basically decided that he's over and done with (oh - is this the part where I'm supposed to be crying in my beer? Shoot, I keep forgetting that part!). Anywho, as many of you know, AH...

How'd it go at the new docs? Wasn't it this week? It's been nuts around here, so I haven't gotten to look and see when the appointment. was. Beth

Hi! Have any of you guys sent care packages to Baghdad? I've been corresponding with a soldier over there and thought that it would be fun to put together a care package for Easter. Any suggestions as to what to send and the time frame that it takes to send it there (how long do I have and...

I get a call from difficult child 3's school. She's having another meltdown and they can't put her on the bus, can I come and get her? I can't because Weeble's new occupational therapist was starting (this was Monday) and I can't get in touch with her. I'll send my sister. Ok, thanks. And off she goes...

Wow! I would recommend this facility to anyone in the free world...check this out...they listen to the parent! He's out...I had to pick him Thursday (another trip in the torential rain! again!). What a difference. The phone calls that I was getting from him weren't the clingy, whining...

I copied the original post for reference - but I WAS RIGHT! The attending psychiatrist just hung up with me...they're not seeing bi-polar! They feel that it's him trying to fit in with the older kids and as an aspie, isn't doing it right. He told me that this is the first time that he's called a...

Yay! I know what was bugging me. Now, try and follow my logic (sometimes I confuse myself - I swear, running in cricles does that to me!). difficult child 1 goes into psychiatric hospital for medication assessment two Thurs. ago. They add tenex, increase trileptal and start lowering risperdal. They call me the following...

Alright, now I'm going to admit that I can be a little base now and again. I've got a warped sense of humor, I can tell a dirty joke as well as the next guy. I don't however, do it in writing (unless it's a private message on Facebook with one of my sisters or my brother), I don't sprinkle my...

Hi Guys! Please give me an answer/suggestion re: lithium. difficult child 1 is in the psychiatric hospital. and finally started cycling for them (took a week + to do so). They're suggesting lithium to quell the impulsivity and the hypersexual comments and gestures (he's 12 by the way). They explained that this points...

He sounds very different. He calls several times a day, but sounds different in a good way. Now I don't know if this is honeymooning or him trying to get out quicker, but he sounds more...I don't know - sure of himself? He says that he feels happier. He mentioned that there were a few fights...

Well, I did it. In the continuing saga of "As the Stomach Turns" difficult child 1 was still using suicidal scripts (my name, not an official psychiatric term) when stressing out or frustrated at the Community Residence. Another trip to the psychiatric E.R., another "it's behavioral, another non-admit. Fast...

I'm sick to death of cold weather, snow, sick kids, dirty piles of snow at the end of the driveway, people being rude because of cabin fever, etc. Here in the Great City of New York, they're predicting 60 and sunny on Friday...quite a coup for February. I can't wait! So, to mentally prepare...
