My daughter-in-law found him in time & we called 911. He's doing ok right now---no liver damage!! Dr's thought they'd need to fly him to Pittsburg last night; but bloodwork came back where things might still be "iffy" but after pumping his stomach & IV's; he's gonna be ok. He took a large bottle of tylenol pm. Dr said twice the lethal dose of acetaminophen. He's been taking *alot* of mucinex dm about 40 pills a day just to get a buzz. & he has ulceritive colitis & been depressed alot. I just needed to talk to someone & let out some stress. I thank God for his guidance & not taking my son yet. I thank you just for listening. I found a ride up to the hospital to see him; he's in the ICU; so I'll keep ya posted.

what a relief that he did not succeed and that no serious damage appears to have happened

I pray he will not only make a full recovery from this, but will also find the hope and encouragement to want to live

praying God's peace for you in the midst of this storm

I am so sorry to hear this.. but thank God he is alive! Will be praying for him and you and everyone involved.. keep us updated!

You and your family (expectually your son) are in my prayers.

Thinking about you today and praying that your son will find peace in this life.

Thank you to all of you. (also; Chemar I didn't even notice the survivors of suicide forum--ty).

For you, your family, and most especially for your son I pray for comfort, healing, restoration, and a climb back from the precipice. The next times will bring some difficulty and much work also on your son'e part, and my prayer is that he will have been shown through this experience that there is much about life with you through God to feel mountains of self worth and gratitude. May all of you have peace and rest.

One of my favorite songs is Somebody's Prayin, and it includes among its lyric line, "somebody's prayin, I can feel it, somebody's prayin for me, mighty hands are guiding me, to protect me from what I can't see, Lord I believe, yes I believe, somebody's prayin for me."

Tonight, somebody's prayin for you,

Prayin,

I am so sorry that this happened. Thank God there is no permanent damage to his liver and that he was discovered in time and taken to the hospital. I hope he finds peace in his life. I pray for all of you at this difficult time.

Life is not easy for anyone but, for some, it seems to present so many challenges and, often, physical and emotional pain. I hope he finds the help he needs.

Hi Jaycojade- In all of these situations there springs the one realization that Hope may arise to point us in the right direction, a direction that is self actualizing and supportive as opposed to the other. I am so glad there was no lasting liver damage found, as such a risk is high in those circumstances. May all of you in your family feel Hope and be shown direction for health and healing beyond this episode.

This I pray for you,
Mark56 z
