Residential Treatment Center

Bill said last night he could see the wisdom of sending Caroline away to an RTC for a period of time.  I have been online researching and also asking other moms of bp kids about their experiences with long-term RTC stays.  I've gotten some good recommendations.  Nothing in our state looks that great, so we are looking at ones in Utah, Georgia, Texas and Vermont.  We have specific criteria for what we want, including equine and occupational therapy and lots of true professionals running the place, not a boot-camp type of a place where anyone could work there.  She doesn't need to be yelled at, she needs structure and affirmation and caring people.  We have to contact our insurance company to get pre-approval and also get her doctor to sign off on this.  We may be taking her as early as this week, so I have a lot of phone calls to make.  She knows we are looking at this and she actually isn't put off. She feels pretty helpless right now.  I really don't want her to miss our CA trip, but we will just have to see.
