This is turning into a crazy night. My son's infection levels went up after surgery. He had a huge meltdown (we're pretty sure he's manic right now) and said he felt fine and insisted, against doctors orders to be released. They let him sign himself out assuming all responsibility for the cost of his appendix removal along with any future ER costs for the issue. They wouldn't give him antibiotics for the infection or pain meds from the surgery. My husband, my sons best friend and I convinced him to go back to the ER and now we are sitting here waiting to see if they will accept him back. He needs Ativan or something to keep his nerves and manic mood down while he's here. He refuses to be medicated for bipolar. This is a nightmare and looks like it will be another late night. Wish me luck. Stress does things to me but right now I'm stable.
