[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 166774"] Thanks again everyone. I put in a call to psychiatrist again this morning - he wanted a 48hr update, so I was a little early, but difficult child refused to leave the house this morning. When I woke him up, I asked him if he wanted some cocoa (just like I do every day pratically) he shook his head yes. I told him he needed to get up. I went to make his cocoa and get my coffee. I went back in and told him he needed to get up now that his cocoa was ready and he needed to come take his medications. He got up out of bed fine, took his medications and sat down. I told him after he finished his cereal that he needed to get dressed, he just blankly looked at me and continued eating. After he finished eating, I told him again he needed to get dressed, he again just looked at me blankly. I told him I was going to take the dog outside and he needed to get dressed. When I came back in, he wasn't sitting in the chair anymore, so I thought he had gone to get dressed - he came walking out of the bathroom still not dressed. He again looked at me blankly and went to sit back down. I again told him he needed to get dressed - he proceeded to cross his arms and curl up in the chair he was in and said "I don't want to go" and started rattling off excuses on why he can't handle going, etc. After a few mins, I went in and woke easy child up so she knew what was going on, I didn't want her to awaken and find her brother there, without her knowing. She said "ok, call the doctor". I made sure there was nothing flammable around (the matches he used before he had found outside in our apartment complex somewhere). Wonderful Family, as far as difficult child knowing what landed him in acute last time - yes and no. He has repeated over and over in the last few weeks that he doesn't want to lose his temper because he will end up back inpatient. He thinks that it was only his aggression that landed him there. I remember when he was placed inpatient in March, he had no clue - he thought he was doing better, the whole while he had been sliding downhill. I am hoping that the bed will open sooner than later. Today at lunch, I will be swinging by there with his birth cert and SS card, I am going to ask then if there is any idea. I am glad that at least today, I will be home early (I have a doctor's appointment after lunch), but I cringe at the idea of him home all day, every day with easy child. Christy [/QUOTE]
