Please pray for my son. We had to admit him to the hospital today for a phyic evaulation. Some of you know the things that have happened in the past. Well last night was another bad night. I don't really feel like talking about it anymore right now. I am so tierd. Today was one of the hardest days of my life. I know we are doing the right thing. Our son needs help. But it was so hard to talk to him tonight before he went to bed. (they let him call home) He wants to come home. He wants me to get him out of there. I know I can not do this. We have to figure out what is going on. And right now this is the safest place for him to be. I am just so sad, lost and tierd. Please just pray.
I will pray for your family. I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I cannot imagine what you are going through. We may not be called to endure the same trials but we do have the same God. The same God that has provided for me and blessed me will also bless and guide you.
Amy, I will be praying for you. It must be so hard, but know that you are doing the best for him by getting him the help he needs.
Oh Amy, I am so sorry for you and your family. I know that had to hurt so but you have to do what is best for him. I hope and pray that this time he gets the help that he needs. Never forget that we are here for you!
(((((((many hugs)))))) Run to the Rock, He is your High Tower, He is the Shelter in the time of storm, He is a Refuge. He is the great I AM. Whatever you need Him to be He will be that for you. If you are in need of a song in your heart, He says I AM that song. If you are in need of comfort, He says I AM Your Comfort. He will carry your burdens, He will be with you, He is your God. I prayed for you and yours, and will continue to remember. I am very sorry for your heart breaking...
Amy, I am so sorry for you to go through all this. I do hope your son gets the help he needs and you all get back together soon. Keep us updated.
Amy, so sorry you are dealing with all of this. I hope your visit today is pleasant. While I am not familiar with your specific troubles, I have a BIL that is mentally ill and have deal with it a lot. Happy to lend any support I can and I am thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.
Amy, Let us know how things go! We are here for you, and God is ALWAYS here for you! He says, "Never will I leave you or forsake you." I wish this didn't have to happen, but know you're loved and being prayed for!
He is doing well. He just wants to come home. I want the same, but right now is not the time. He is learning some ways to deal with his feelings so that is good. We are all working together to change things. Thank you for all the prayers. I am a little better a this moment. This morning was horrible waking up and him not being here. I had to go to work and I cried the whole way there. I need to cry I have not been able to in so long. Right now we are taking one moment at a time. Please cont. to pray for him and us. Its so hard on all of us. I talk to my mom last night and we cried together. They are thinking that maybe my son had something happen to him at a young age that he is unable to talk about. So they will be discussing different issues with him to help them understand what possible could be going on. He gets group serveral times a day and one on one too. They do one hour of school a day aswell. I got some lesson together for him last night and took them in with us. So he will be able to cont. sort of what we are doing at home. They did bring up the issure of homeschool and socializing. I said I understood there concerns but I believe my son socializes just fine and with all age groups not just his peers. We talked about his size and how other use this as a reason for him to know better then to do some of the things he does. They said this is not right. Size makes no difference. So I'm glad someone esle sees that. I have to get ready for work now. So thanks again guys. We will go and see him again tonight for a hour. Please pray my car can handle all the driving.
OH Amy...I forgot about your car. I will pray for that. Believe me, I know the stress of a car. Sounds like he will do just fine. I will continue to pray. Please keep us updated. Did they understand about homeschooling and socialization? Were they then supportive or at least tolerant?
Amy, having to admit your child to a hospital for any reason is not easy and especially so when it involves psychiatric assessments and such. You did the right thing... don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. He's going to push at you to come home but keep him there as long as he needs to be there in order to get the help that he needs. It isn't going to be easy and he's really going to pull at the strings to your heart. Hang in there... in time, he will look back on this and he will thank you for standing your ground by getting the help he needs. And for the schooling - you need to do what you feel led by God to do... if it is homeschooling do NOT let anyone tell you otherwise. They use the "socilaize" jargen on you BUT in another breath to a child who's working on their social skills, they tell them "You're not here to socialize". Praying for you and for your family and the decisions that lie ahead...
Well our visit last night went well. We played some games and talked. The time went so fast. My mom will be going up with us today. We get visit longer today 1:30 to 4. He had a rough afternoon yesterday. Would not do what they wanted him to do. So he spent most of the afternoon in his room. This is what they do if a child does not comply to the program. We talked about how he needs to do as they ask and be open and honest. But I am glad he is showing his true colors and they get to see kinda what we are dealing with. I don't want him acting all nicey nicey. I don't want him misbehaving either but I want him to get help. And showing his true side will get him more help then not showing it. I am still stuggling. Going to bed at night and getting up in the morning are the hardest for me right now. I just want to crawl under the covers and cry. But my hubby holds me and we fall a sleep together. I know this will bring the 2 of us closer. My mom has talked to both my sister and brother and told them I need to know I am loved right now. We grew up as a very close family. My brother was very understanding. (even though I have not heard from him yet.) My sister totally went off the deep end. Which really upset my mom. My sister believes the problems are between my hubby and me. She thinks that Devin and I should leave my hubby and things will get better. Then she started yelling at my mom about things that have happened in her past and how we just don't get it. I am angry at her right now or more hurt at this time. I will not leave my hubby because of this, it will not make things better. Yes our marriage has not been perfect. But we have stayed together and worked together to make it better. We both will fight for our child. We both love him with all our hearts. And it would really hurt him to not have his mom and dad together. I just don't know where my sister is going from. Right now I do not want to talk to her. I don't need it from her right now. Please pray for her as well. She needs it. Her life has not been easy and she thinks we are against her for some reason. But right now my concerns are on my son. We are working as a whole to make all our lives better. And we know that things need to change all the way around. We need to comunicated better and find ways to deal with our stress instead of releasing it on each other. I trust in the Lord and know he will be with us and help us through this. Thanks again everyone. I truely feel loved and so glad I have you guys to turn to.
