i tried calling again yesterday and the told me that it is harder to get a bed during the month and that beds will be opening up around the holiday. they took down his name and some info and they will call us when one becomes available. i will still try to call next week before hand anyway. i also asked about how they would handle his panic attack. they told me not to worry about it because one of their specialties is dealing with panic disorders and if things get too bad, they would give him a tranqualizer. obviously he does feel so much better about this. i will keep you all posted. thanks again for all of your support!!!mindy
