Fundraising to attend At Home Dad’s Convention.

I am applying for a scholarship to the At Home Dad’s convention in Washington D.C.  However, I still need to raise money for the travel and since we live in North Dakota, airplane fare is expensive.  The convention is the first weekend in October. I am trying this with a ChipIn. Please give a couple of dollars if you can afford to.  Any excess funds will be donated to the At Home Dad’s Scholarship fund to help another father attend the conference next year. Donations to me through the ChipIn are not tax-deductible.  If you would like to donate to The National At-Home Dads Scholarship and help other dads attend the convention, you can make a donation at the website www.daddyshome.org. My apologies for any confusion.   Tweet #fighting4answrs

Melatonin and anti-psychotics

So I talked to David’s psych team three times today.  The result, we are going to get him back on his meds, get him stabilized again.  They are also going to put him on an anti-psychotic drug.  I forget the name of it. They are working to get as many of his meds in liquid form as possible.  This will make it harder for him to vomit them up at will. We are also transitioning to a time release melatonin and a melatonin spray. He should be home in about 72 hours.  Still waiting on getting him placement in the residential facility.

Psych stay again

Working on getting David admitted to psych again. He is throwing up his meds, stealing and refusing meals. He has lost 5 pounds in the last week due to throwing up his meds.  Tweet #fighting4answrs
