Just got a call from the therapist at the school letting me know that Carson is having suicidal thoughts again and we might need to take him back to the ER. Which, okay, I'm glad she's there and that she can talk to Carson and make those recommendations.
But at what point do we take into consideration that he's been to the hospital twice and IT HASN'T DONE ANY GOOD.
Last time, he was home for 9 days. This time, it's been 4. I know there's no magic fix for this, but surely there should be other options when it's so obvious that this isn't working.
But when the choices are one therapy session a week or hospitalization with no therapy, which is really the better choice?
I know it's about keeping him safe as much as anything else, but we can't do this indefinitely. We can't. Best case scenario going this route is getting him in long-term care, and if it's more of the same as short-term, then what is that really going to do. Worst case is...well. I'm not going there.
What do we do? What can we do?
