Moving a Step Closer to an RTC
Today we met with Caroline's psychiatrist's P.A. who had gotten the health insurance paperwork, and agreed that an RTC would be a good move for Caroline. Her psychologist sent over her evaluation to add to the documents needed. I think we have a good case for approval, but we'll see what happens. We have decided that the RTC in Texas, the Merridell Achievement Center, is our top choice based on their neurobiological-based psychiatric approach, using brain imagery and scans to guide choices of medications. I would love for them to do a med wash where they basically start all over again from scratch, because she is on ten different medications. We leave for a big vacation on Saturday and I am just hoping she will be able to handle it. She's acting a little too happy/irritable right now (rapid cycling?) so are bringing things to calm her down if we need too.
