Bad night...

Faith has had a bad run of luck the past week. She was up since midnight last night throwing up. I was able to get her an appointment with her old psychiatrist this Friday, this is one bit of good news I guess. We are still awaiting the results if her IEP, and we are still working on getting all the final documents and doctors letters required to get her enrolled in the ECHO program. This will allow us to have therapists come to the house and help her with a lot of the issues she is having. Renae and I have been talking about the biggest issue we see right now with children with mood disorders. Faith is unable physically to be admitted into an inpatient psychiatric hospital, but this is the only way she can see a new psychiatrist without a three month wait. This seems ridiculous but it is true. There is such a shortage of psychiatrist and that is our main battle. Finding a good one that will not merely keep mixing cocktails of medicine until our child is a walking, yet behaving, zombie. But if we were to force her into a psychiatric hospital she would have a new doctor within a day. Go figure. Hope everyone has a good Thursday. Kris
