I didn't understand how lucky we were the last time we had to do the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)! School was out the last time and all we had to do was make sure that someone (mostly Hubby) was able to take her to IOP. We are having to figure out how to make sure that homework, and the after school programs are all completed.
Monday Hubby picked her up from the bus stop and they headed directly to the IOP. By the time they got home it was 7:45 pm and MAC ate dinner, took her meds, took her shower, and then went directly to bed. No passing GO, no collecting $200 and definitely no homework.
Tuesday she has an appointment with the Psychologist at 3pm. She will not be able to even finish the school day since I will have to pick her up around 2:15. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the after school days so she will also be missing the required after school time today too. I am really glad that IOP doesn't start until 5 because that means that we don't have to take her out of school on most days. It is all the other appointments that go along with this (family meetings, art therapy, med checks) that make it a little time consuming.
There are days it feels like we are having to make a choice between school and IOP. IOP will come out on top everytime though...
