Today Ameri got up and went out the door to go to school for the first time in months. She has so little work to finish that the school has been working with us on attendance. They are not happy about her attitude and behaviors but she is still enrolled. Her teacher who was such a comfort to her last year in the spring and summer was too put out today to give much comfort.
Ameri came in with Mom at 5:00p and they left for a therapy session at 6:00p. Mom has just returned home alone. While in the therapist's office she said that if she went home she would harm herself. Of course the therapist is then obligated to call 911 and have law enforcement come in. When the policeman arrived he discussed things with Mom, he said that he would have to go on an do what had to be done because he had just come from working a teen suicide.
The therapist, being relatively new to her profession, had never had to proceed on her own with such a situation. Mom had to provide some support for the therapist. Just today I confirmed an appointment with a psychiatrist for Tuesday. This appointment came as the result of an eight day confinement in early February. The facility of choice, for insurance purposes, was full so now she will have to be confined in what ever facility has a bed. We live in a compact and densely populated metropolitan area, so no facility is more than forty five minutes away.
If you are asking yourself ,"Why?" I must respond that only God and Ameri know the answer to that.
