Update on my son

My son is still in the psych hospital. He has been moved from the maximum security unit he was first in to a floor where there is much more independence and activities. He has taken an interest in his appearance...whcih is a good sign for him. On Monday he is to be exaluated to see if he would qualify to get into a SIP apartment. (Supported Independent Program). After that it will take about a month or so to actually find him a placement.

His schizophrenic symptoms have greatly diminished....and he is on lower dosages of the same meds he was taking before. The one thing that has been great to see is that Paxil has been added to his list of meds. This particular med is a huge help to him with anxiety and OCD behavior.

So....all in all he is doing well.
