NOS.
These are the three little letters that haunt me.
This week Thing One visited with Dr. Weasel. Again.
I do not know why.
She finally had a copy of the discharge notes on Thing One's period of observation. His (Dr. Monkey's) diagnosis on paper is 1) Anxiety 2) Psychosis Disorder NOS. He is considered to NOT be in an acute state currently.
NOS. "Not Otherwise Specified". Which means basically this:
"We did not observe anything specific during the two weeks you entrusted your very broken son to us. We know something is wrong, but we don't know why. It may be his medication, but we are not willing to admit that on paper despite what we have told you in person. It is a mystery, and he should remain medicated to be sure he doesn't want to hurt himself or his family."
And then? She upped the medication.
If there was a way to replicate the sounds that the tazmanian devil makes when he is spinning and spitting and tearing out his hair into type - you'd read it here.
I'm slowly packing up the house around me to return to my hometown and my family support system. I am looking forward (IMMENSELY) to the move and the referral to a new set of eyes.
God help us all but I'm really starting to wonder what the HELL is wrong with this system?

SO glad you'll be able to get a third opinion. <3
