Today they did more bloodwork & it came back with higher levels of the tylenol then yesterdays results; they told him he's still not "out of the woods yet". (I'm not sure how it could be higher than the day before?) Hopefully tomorrow's tests will be better.
He keeps telling all of us that he's really sorry & That was the first & last time he'll ever try anything again. I can tell he"s sincere. He knows he needs help. (He's been very depressed; he has ulcertive collistis & nothing seems to be helping. He lost his job more than a year ago & just alot of family problems & stress).

My dad committed suicide when I was 12 (almost 44 years ago). I'm so thankfull that God was there watching over my son & I know God will help us through this.
