Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I don't know whether to take him to school or not tomorrow. I left a message on his pdoc's voice mail and should hear from her office tomorrow morning, early I hope. violated house rules and left the yard, going down to ny's house, and while there he raged and attacked ny and his younger sister. He was very agressive and physical, It was NOT good. I don't know what we are going to do. He can't be here and be like this. I have other children to protect. I have a feeling we could be headed for a hospitalization, which truthfully, right now sounds like a nice break. I've been reading but just don't have it in me to post much. I don't seem to have much of anything to say. I'll let you all know what transpires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth the investment, if there is no way to keep him from leaving. In some areas, there is funding for hiring a caregiver for children who need it inhome (waivered services)...is that an option---I know it really isn't here, because there ain't no money to fund it, even though it exists in theory. One idea that occurs to me is to try something like a BearHug vest...provides constant calming input thru trunk and spine--has anyone tried that with him? Wouldn't do it alone, but in concert with meds, might help? Have you tried magnesium supplementation, or omega 3? Both make visibly calmer...worth a shot, perhaps? When a child gets older (and bigger), it gets very dangerous for other kids if there isn't a way to control the aggression. Is there anywhere there to do a brief inpatient placement to get his meds under control? I hate even suggesting that, but it is something we considered with when he was so bad 3 years ago...and he was probably much smaller. Fortunately for us, the risperdal helped him enough to make that unnecessary. But I know what you mean about needing a break... Don't know if any of that is new or helpful, but it's what occurs to me at the moment (which is like, 6:45 am...) Raena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 : Whatever you decide for will be whatever is best for him and the entire family. You need to be safe too. I am so sorry though that you even have to make such decisions. Hugs....

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 , A hospitalization may not be a bad idea if they can find a good medication or combo to stabilize him. I know 's teacher kept insisting on this, but, it seems he is okay-for now. How about a day hospital type of thing? I can totally understand the aggressiveness and feeling like youre in danger. He sounds pretty defiant. I hope the pdoc can give you a good solution. Thea > I don't know whether to take him to school or not tomorrow.
