Updated on the kid

This has been a hetic week.

Monday and Tuesday we went to Redding to visit a non-public school and residential treatment facility. The facility is a RCL 14, the highest level of care. It was an awesome place though. They have the school with 12 students, a special education student, 2 aides, and a behavior interventionist in each class. Each class has a pet. The school has the challenges program wich includes rock walls, high rope courses, low rope courses, and cardiac hill. They have a greenhouse, a garden, a farm with goats, chickens, pigs, rabbits, horses, etc. They offer equine therapy. They coach with the Boystown skills training. They encorperate two or three other programs as well. I forget their names.

Wedensday my daughter was sent home from school sick. She has had bronchitis for about 3 weeks now.

Wedensday night through Thrusday night was just plain insane ... Running away 4 times, breaking curfew, being brought in by the police at 5:30 AM, calling strangers out of the newspaper and giving them directions to our home to try and get their pets, bringing stray animals in the house through windows, self injury behaviors, truancy, etc.

Friday she went to the doctor. She chewed him out for trying to talk to her. He increased one of her meds. Her case manager asked me if the facility had an opening if I would take it. I said yes. She said she would call the intake person we saw on Monday.
