[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 436680, member: 3444"] Overall it went just fine. Although he DID take his phone, he did NOT turn it on, so I couldn't get through to him to check on whether he took his medications or not. I tried calling and texting the friend, but got no answer. Finally, about 10 minutes before his medications were due, I sent a text to the dad and he informed me they were in a theater watching a movie and he'd have difficult child 2 call as soon as they were out. Turns out he'd left the phone at the boy's house. He eventually sent a text to say he'd taken his medications :) (Marg's Man gave me a great tip for phone alarms that work even when the phone is off -- see my other thread). When he got home the next day, he was wound up and got progressively more so, no doubt due to taking his medications 90 minutes late and staying up until 12:30am (or so he said). His friend woke him at 9am, which for most people would be enough sleep, but difficult child 2 needs at least ten. While I'm glad he got the chance to do this, I'm also glad it's not something he asks to do regularly because of the tendency to destabilize as a result. [/QUOTE]
