[quote=Anonymous][quote]I found with the last round of hospitalizations (2 involuntary hospitalizations at three different facilities - there was a transfer partway through one) that staff would not even accept our calls after my kid said no contact and they would not provide the staff and doctors names so we couldn’t actually even share information. We couldn’t even share medication information or outpatient provider information. [/quote]

Oof.  I get it from their perspective since what is happening is very real to them, and of course HIPAA rules are there for a reason, but it's still so hard.  Mine will talk to my husband but I am barred from contact for whatever reason.  As a mom, it's really hard.  We're on the third hospitalization but second facility, so our hope is that they can review last year's records for some sort of baseline.

We're living two lives right now; our younger kid is about to graduate from HS, going to the prom this weekend, very excited for a trip with friends this summer, moving across the country for school in the fall -- and then have all of this going on at the same time.  Cosplaying a happy family is exhausting and we get to do it all weekend for a visit from elderly extended family who will not understand our situation or think that heavy application of prayer or organic vegetables will cure everything.  We live in a really gossipy community and I know we are a topic of conversation.  I feel so deeply for everyone here who is going through it; it's a lonely existence.[/quote]
