The Shoe Dropped Last Night

After I posted my blog last night, I was headed off to bed when the phone rang.  Caroline was in hysterics about two girls on her unit who were harassing her. She could not be calmed down, but just ranted and hyperventilated about how this wasn't going to work, that we had to come get her RIGHT NOW, she couldn't keep up with the points and rewards system.   Bill and I were not ready for this, but we knew that something would happen sooner or later.  We talked to the nurse about the situation, assured Caroline that in our phone conference tomorrow with her psychologists both here and there that this problem would be addressed, etc.  Nothing we could say made her less hysterical.  I asked her if they had made a med change, but they hadn't.  She just sounded so unreasonably paranoid.  The meeting today starts in about an hour, so I am hoping she is better today and that we can come to a resolution.  I am afraid that the constant begging to come home that we have dealt with in the past has started now, and that wears us down so fast.  As a parent you know this is best for them, but your heart breaks anyhow when your child is so far away and so distressed.
