I talked to Connor last night. He wasn't all happy cheerful like he was last week. He sounded down; tired. The nurse called me earlier @ a medication change. They wanted to stop his Seroquel, which they had increased last week, & put him on Risperdal instead. I wonder how many years we are going to go through the same thing.
The increase in Seroquel made him flail around like a fish out of water. I know as it did the same thing 2 yrs ago when he was in the RTC in Albuquerque. We were up there for Christmas & he jabbered non-stop & I don't just mean he talked a lot, I mean he could not stop at all & he flailed his hands like people in the wheel chairs that have no control over their motor skills. That is a side affect to the meds called dyskensia. It can become permanant.
Three weeks & he isn't stable yet. He wants me to come see him & I want to, but the visitation is horrible, they only allow 1 hr per a day. I was hoping he would be placed so I could go meet him & bring him some of his things. I called yesterday & I just called again. Mental health care is so sad.
It was 9:05 pm when the nurse called me last night. Connor had gotten into an altercation with a peer. Ah, great. Here I was thinking he was losing his touch!
The peer turned off the tv, upsetting Connor. Connor went to turn it on & the kid touch Connor. Well, that was not a good idea. Touch a mad Connor is like sticking your hand in a blender that is on. Stupid. So, my son, punched him in the nose. The child has a split lip & redness & his mother may press charges. Ooh! Fun.
Here is my question: Why wan't someone THERE as soon as they saw these two were upset? Anyone running a facility with mentall ill patients here? I have not heard anything else, but I understand @ a mum being upset. Connor was getting hurt a great deal at Desert Hills in Albuquerque a couple yrs ago, but it would have been the facility I sued.
The lady at Mtn View called & wants to know what is going on with Connor. Stand in line, so do I & I am him mother! She said he's been out 21 days now (yesterday), so I will probably go & un enroll him tomorrow. Great. He isn't even getting schooling right now. Just what he needs when he is so behind as it is. Maybe I should take my hypnotherapist to Congress. Give them a dose & maybe they can wake up & help parents take care of kids across our country better. It isn't just mental health here. They don't want to deal with it, they don't want to give them care & then they want to know why some young adult just shot everyone up. Ugh. Morons!
