Well, grandson is still having some issues but his recovery time has been shortened by quite a bit so I think the meds are starting to help him a bit.
He had a horrible breakdown yesterday and screamed at the psychiatrist and called her a horrible horrible name, using a word that I totally despise. If I had been there when he called her this name he would have had an "attention getter" from me. I understand that he is a sick boy and that he has little control over some things, but what he called her yesterday is completely unacceptable and he needs to know that!
He started talking to me about the incident yesterday during our visit and I was quite impressed that even though he still thought he was not being treated fairly and was getting upset about it, he found a way to calm himself and drop the subject. I just hope he is able to discuss it in group or one on one with the psychiatrist so he can work through it.
He doesn't want to be there anymore....he's getting anxious because his birthday is next week and he wants to be home for it. I can't blame him there, but I told him that it depends on how well he does over the next few days and if the meds help him as well. He says he understands that, so that's good.
Onward and upward I hope!
