Things have been just crazy isn our household. I haven't had a chance to get online much to do any updates like i want. Any online time has been researching genetic research.
Well the update goes as follows,
we are moved into the new apartment. work has been good... E behavior not what I had wanted. Lets just say it was a very severe meltdown. Last monday night the girls went swimming as promised. Well I had just gotten off work and told them they could swim for 30 minutes but then it would be time to come in. Well I gave them the countdown when it got closer, but E was getting more aggressive and agitated. So long story short, she had a HUGE meltdown and i ended up calling Emergency to have her transported. They wanted to admit her but stubborn me wouldn't have it (and yes i regret that). Then that Friday, she ran off from her sister and I... so called emergency again. Luckily they found her. Well I took her back to the hospital and this time they weren't concerned with admitting her nor about our safety.
Then the big one... Saturday. She ended up having a huge issue so when she calmed down enough, i took her up to Children's Primary and they evaluated her. They ended up agreeing with me about admitting her to the University Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI) here in SLC. I hated having to do that. I am her mom and I am supposed to be able to fix the issues and make things better, not send her off. Yes i feel guilty but I know it was for the best.
She has since been discharged and now doing a Day Treatment program. But things are not perfect. They kept her on her Prozac and changed the other two medicines. They threw out the original diagnosis (kept the ODD oppisitional Defiance disorder) but they are trying to figure out what is going on. She shows some characteristics of a child on the spectrum (high functioning), but also shows characteristics of a child with a chromosomal abnormality. They want to do some genetic testing. So now we play the waiting game on that since it will take awhile to get that test, then hope insurance will pay for it.
Well i figured i would let you all know I am alive. Just alot going on.....
