Thank you
What an emotional day!
M2 is home today. He is better. The doctor is thinking it could be one of two things. One-M2 had not been taking full medication while living at the caretaker's home. When he moved back in, we put him on full meds. This included his clonidine, imiprine, and risperdol. Option 2 is that M2 took L's wellbutrin, instead of his risperdol. Either way, M2 went off the deep end. Another thing is that M2 always over exaggerates everything. So I am sure this came into play as he was getting so much attention.
The reason the hospital did not keep him, the Stress Center was closed. Their furnace had quit and they were putting patients into standard rooms.
The doctor doubled the risperdol, thinking this will get rid of the voices and hallucinations. He eliminated the imiprine and halved the clonidine. M2 is much better today. I am to keep him away from chaos for the weekend. I laughed when the doctor said that. So did he... Well, I am to keep him away from it as much as possible. He will return to school on Monday.
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers and phone calls...it helped me through a real tough day.
