Ah yes...it was a beautiful day. After refusing to get out of bed for school, M worked himself up to a 3 hr mini-rage where he talked to himself and threw a few things in his room. He went on for about an hour about how so-and-so said if he got something for him, he'd be his friend, so he did and then he wasn't his friend and it wasn't fair! and then he'd scream and throw something...then he's start all over with something similar about how somebody said something, he told the teacher and HE got in trouble for something someone else did....over and over he went on like this for an hour! He finally calmed down and came down stairs, got dressed and took a nap on the couch. I woke him to eat lunch before his pdoc appt and he refused lunch. I had to physically drag him out the car for his appt. He raged for an hour in the dr's office where I had to restrain him to keep him there (I have several nail marks and bruises) and then after hiding in the office building for 15 minutes, I found him and we left. Then he wouldn't get in the back seat of the car, he sat in the front seat. I explained that it's against the law for me to drive with him in the front seat and he just stayed strapped in and clung to the seat belt. So, I eventually called 911 for a medical transport. The ambulance came and he started scratching and biting everyone and they had to restrain him because he kept unbuckling the safety belts on the stretcher. The entire 45 minute ride he kept screaming "I'm going to kill you! Let me go, I'm going to kill you mommy! I hate you all, I'm going to KILL YOU!" and other similar statements. When we arrived at the hospital, we were greeted by 4 security officers and it took 6 or 7 people to strap him down to the bed in the ER. Then, it took 2 shots of Ativan (they were about to give him a 3rd shot) and about 4-5 hours for him to calm down. They ended up re-admitting him.
This time around he has a new Social Worker and new Psychiatrist assigned to him, so he has a new set of eyes, which is good. Third time's a charm, right?
