Meridell Got It Right

Today we got a survey in the mail from Meridell Achievement Center, the RTC that our daughter went to this past summer. They send these surveys to former patients every few months, asking about whether or not their medications have been changed at all, if there have been any hospitalizations, or incarcerations (let's hope never!), and also about aggression, both physical and verbal. In particular, they want to know if her aggression has continued to be at a much lower level than before her stay there. The answer is a resounding YES! She used to rage a lot before she went to Meridell, and now it is almost never. She occasionally gets verbally sassy and mean toward her sisters, but so do they. What siblings don't fight? And like I said before, this is the first year that she has not been hospitalized in the fall or the late winter. Meridell's specialty is stabilizing kids who are very explosive and aggressive. I have to give them a standing ovation. Whatever they are doing is right on the mark.
