The answer should be yes. Not "how can I get my loved one help?"

Every once in a while, not often mind you, but once in a while I am struck with flashes of brilliance.

When I talked to the psychiatrist this morning, I complained about how people were requesting records for our son from the hospital. Interesting thing happened then. She pulled up our son’s file and was able to tell me exactly when records were sent to the residential facility where he is currently placed. Interesting. So I have a call into her office to determine when records were sent to the elementary school. 🙂

One of the tenets upon which the neglect and abuse charge was determined the way it was related to how the school requested records from the psychiatrist and never received them. If those records were purged from his elementary school file as I suspect they were, they would have a record of them at least being sent to the school.

I will be filing an appeal, but the more ammunition I can provide in the documentation for the appeal the better. How bad would it be for the school to be caught in a lie where records were doctored?

>walkers

>went to physical therapy yesterday, left with a walker.  blood pressure was a bit high as well.  the therapist said it feels like my legs are getting weaker instead of stronger.  continuing weekly visits for now, may increase to twice a week if improvement isn’t shown.

yuck.

on a side note, talked to the staff at the residential facility regarding our son’s return to public school.  she is going to push for a school planning meeting to take place so we can plan now for his return to public school.

I was invited to be on a task force for seclusion and restraint at the state level for department of human services.  meeting isn’t until just before thanksgiving.

>psychiatrist updated

>I talked with our son’s psychiatrist and updated her on his progress.  She thinks that he will be sabotaged if he goes back to his old school, which I agree with.  So we are advocating for a change in schools. I will homeschool him before I will let them mess him up again.

She is glad that he is doing so well in the residential facility.  But, saddened to hear the results of the abuse and neglect investigation.
