We found out this past November that the psych doctor who oversaw Thomas’ meds was gradually taking him off these much needed medications. She was making these changes without consulting Tommy and I, nor did she have our permission as Thomas’ legal guardians to do so. To say I’m pissed is an kunderstatement.

After making it known this is unacceptable, Thomas was assigned a new psych practitioner. One that Tommy and I like. She listens and takes us seriously. Thomas is not doing well without the appropriate medications on board. I don’t know how to express how angry/confused/in disbelief I am that this happened. Not once were we consulted and never was anything signed granting our permission for this asinine plan. We know better for fucks sake. I’m past the anger but still in disbelief/confusion at the unprofessional abuse of her medical license.

The new psych nurse practitioner has a reasonable plan, one that she discussed at length with Tommy and I and has no problem contacting me with a change of direction of the plan, or if a totally different plan is on the table. That is how it should be; and the way it has always been in the past when it came to Thomas’ medications. Until now, and we’ve been at this 23 years I have never had a lack of or absence of communication with any of his doctors. Not one.

My son is complex. Not a brag. Just the way he is. He’s never been easy to treat and find the “right” med combo. To think that someone with a medical license felt they had the right to destroy his stability because, well just “because”. I have not been provided a reason or any explanation. I’m not done.
