[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 745386, member: 22819"] I talked to the doctor today and he asked me to write L's bio so that he has all the information. He didn't say that he thought Lucas wouldn't be able to take care of himself, but that they needed to figure out if he would be able to, and that it seems to him based on L's impulsivity that he might not be able to. The tests are to rule out something structurally wrong with is brain, if I'm understanding correctly. It's hard because it's on the phone, long-distance, in the same language but different accents and different words for things. So, I'm trying to make communication happen more in writing, but so far this doctor seems to prefer the phone. I asked the center to send me the description of the tests and what they are for, but they haven't responded. L was loving the first night we talked, but cold on the second night. Now I have to wait until Saturday to talk to him again. But I feel pretty reassured that he is not being mistreated there, so far anyway, because he could have used the code for me to go get him, and he didn't. And the thing is, I think he will prefer to be there, even in less that optimal conditions, if his only other option is coming back here. He has said that he will never come back here, and now he has burned all his other bridges and he knows it. I have read all the posts and hope I've answered all the questions. Know that I'm very much taking all the advice to heart. [/QUOTE]
