We met with the intake person from Catholic Community Services and did the intake paperwork. The little man is going to be in their crisis stabilization program. That program is two weeks of intense therapy. The therapist will come out to the house daily for two weeks. After that he has been referred to the WISE program. There is a waiting list for that so he will continue seeing the therapist at the Children's Center.
We created a new safety plan. One of the things being for me to remove as many throwable items from the living area as possible. I told her I had been working on that slowly. Every thing thrown at me goes away. And I have this great intention fueled by pain to take out everything. But when it comes time to do it...I have no energy or motivation. So I have to get on that. We talked about how hard this is and how it is not a parenting issue. It was some nice validation and having someone recognizing how exhausted I am.
We are set up for the home therapist visits. We have an appt. with the psychiatrist to see if this escalation is med related and what we can do either way. I have had many conversations today with people about melatonin. I will ask the doc and then get some.
The day went by and it was bedtime and for some reason he amped back up. Bit his sister. I told him we were going to our safe spots and he followed me being aggressive. Called CCS who told me to call 911 again. And then again he got himself a ride to the ER in an ambulance. Once there his switch had been flipped and he was amusing the staff. They let me take him back home since we have so much scheduled for tomorrow. Oy.
It's been a long day.
On a side note. Yesterday we had worked on symmetry and symmetrical creatures. While he was in the bahvior unit overnight he showed the tech how to make them. Amazing the things he retains and I never know.
