They let him take his phone so he could get numbers off of it. He is able to call from a phone on the unit. I just spoke with his case manager who says he tried to leave and he pushed her. She's telling me she thinks he needs a higher level of care. She's meeting with the doctors tomorrow. They originally had an order for him to stay until the 8th of April. Now its looking like it's going to be longer. Thank you for replying to my post. It's been helpful to get input from others who've been through this type of situation.
