Sounds like this is welcome news to you and your daughter, I feel like saying congratulations and wonder if this is appropriate? I'm thinking it is as she's complying, and to me it sounds like she's in a good headspace to get well.
I'm wondering what my list of questions might be. I'd like to know whether she can take her smokes and if we should bring along her meds. Visiting times, can we bring in food? Can we phone during the day and if so what times?
From my daughters one experience as an inpatient, we followed the comprehensive list of number of clothing, bed linen, no personal items etc. For her the biggest problem was handing over her mobile phone and laptop. She was lost without her movies.
I can remember the admission day, and how shocked and upset we both were when I was told to leave, pretty much straight after signing her in and paying the upfront fee. We were both in tears. I wonder if this played a part in her not staying long enough to get any benefit from treatment... 4 days from when she arrived.
Is that a question to ask? I wonder if as a planned inpatient does this mean your daughter can't check out when she feels like it?
Thank you for posting your question. What have you decided to ask the doctor?
