>A fantastic day

>our son has been home for a home visit for 24 hours now.  It has been great having him here.  No outbursts, he is playing nicely with others, and we are overjoyed with having all of our children under the same roof.  As it stands right now, he will be discharged from the residential facility on the 13th of January.  Steps are being taken by us and the staff of the agency that runs the facility to transition him into the public school and our home.  We are working on lining up respite care, and after care. His psychiatrist is going to treat him again. Through the Christmas break, he will be home periodically, he can’t be home for the whole two weeks because of insurance issues.  So we can have him for a couple three days at a time.
