What would you do.

Yesterday was just horrible in our house, son had been quite confused on Thursday in school ( he'd only been back wed & thurs after being to stressed to go after exams ). i had already decided to keep him home on Friday, kicking my self I'd sent him the other 2 days,he was quite confused when he woke up and I told him he was staying home, I went to make a cup of tea and phone his cahms worker, to tell her he was pretty bad, when I came back In The room , no more than 5 mins. He was completely mute, couldn't remember who I was, what his name was, and just moved his head slightly to acknowlage what I was saying, it took 5 hrs for him to start to come back to us, and another couple hrs before he could recognise all his pictures of family and friends. Has this happened to any one else. It happened before when he was 11, he's now 15. It's been a very heavy few weeks with exams (we are trying to get him out of) and all the cahms intervention/ meetings I  don't know what to do for the best now, do I keep him at home for a while, let him chill, although the stress of a change of environment will keep stress up a bit. Do I send hiM Half days, keep him off til school sort them selves out and realise they have a kid that really can't cope on their hands.cahms say, once he's feeling better, get him straight back In to school or he'll stress about being off. I just want to wrap him In bubble wrap and keep them all away from him!!.

  • hi - I'm presuming your son will understand times/dates etc.  If you make a decision to keep him off school, then it's better if he knows as much in advance as poss + for how long.  A sick note from the doctor's should cover you.  Sounds like he's totally stressed + can't process what's going on.   Sounds like he really needs a break to recoup (+ so do you).  Too many fingers in the pie with Camhs/school.  If it was up to me I'd give him that break
