[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 111832, member: 1169"] Linda - our clinical supervisor said that legally we are not allowed to refuse to take her home but we can press the psychiatric hospital to assure us that she is stable and we are safe (how they can tell that, I don't know either but supposedly it will buy us a little more time in the psychiatric hospital). Adoption preservation assigned a case worker to us but told us it was unlikely we would get contacted until after the holidays. They also gave me a number to call for respite (and hopefully PCA) staffing. There was discussion of Seroquel - I am going to ask for a PRN. Peaceful - I believe at 13, the state will now press the DV charges if the same situation came up again. Our safety plan is pretty stringent and she won't be allowed alone with any of the other children. We are hoping that she will attend PHP pending an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) bed opening. That should keep her away from home almost the same hours that husband is at work. I'm hoping to have a PCA for the two evenings that he works late. One adult will supervise her and the other will be with the younger children. I'm documenting all over the place that I tried to get her placed out of home pending Residential Treatment Center (RTC) so if DCFS steps in, it should be clear that they need to take her, not the other 3. Worst case scenario, the younger 3 and I will start sleeping at my grandmother's (I think she'll let us, but no one will let Kanga). Sharon - thanks [/QUOTE]
