another night done. starting anew with old behaviors

Well, David came home from the hospital. Promptly stole my Kindle Fire, my camera, and my cell phone.  I imagine that he stole some other things, we just haven’t figured out what yet. I am frustrated.  Frustrated that he can behave and not steal anything or misbehave while he is in psych, and then he comes home and the behaviors start up right where he left off. I wasn’t out of the room for two minutes.  I told him that I would know if he moved or not.  He was in the same position as when I left, but my cell phone was missing.  So I confronted him. He said “I saw it on the counter.” and tried to get around me.  I stopped him, and reached into his pocket.  sure enough, there was my phone… “I don’t know how it got there…” he cries. He has only been home

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.

Help support their project and get it off the ground. 🙂 on the right side you should see a link that references Botiful.  Click on that, and donate 10 dollars if you can. check it out here:  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1452620607/botiful-telepresence-robot-for-android .
