Mark - I'm praying for you and your son ... your whole family.

sending prayers your way Mark. {{{HUGS}}}}

We are grateful our son is in hospital under the care he needs to weather this personal storm. We are thankful as well for the prayers and thoughts you are sharing at this time. It is pretty dang hard, you know? Not being able to DO something to assure a healthy result...... and last night my fear regarding the circumstances finally resolved in a "bawl my eyes out" session in our bedroom while the family was elsewhere and otherwise occupied. I guess I needed to just let down.

We hope to have news of what is occurring with him soon,
Love and hugs to all.

Tear Soup dear Mark. A wonderful book that recommends healing tears.
Now anger is something else. ~sigh

It's OK to cry, Mark.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Mark.
Sending along a hug as well because I think you could probably do with one right now. Please know that I'm here for you if you ever need to talk.

such sad news......sending prayers and positive thoughts

He will be released from hospital tomorrow. Unsure whether he will be going straight away back to family or to an intermediate facility. Unsure. Unsure. Things are strained quite a bit at home for him, for them right now. Safety is surely a deep concern for him and for them. As we have written, the conduct of such an attempt or its far more serious alternative is a deep impact to the family in many ways.

We pray....ever thankful for your prayers, thoughts, and hugs.

I have read the bumped up posts, there is a lot of value to be receive from them, and I am so grateful to have read them.

Kicker here is a new one..... seems though our son had been under a psychiatrist's care pre-attempt last week, when he was admitted to ER the docs exclaimed at the dosage administered by his treating psych doc...... The dosage he had been taking of this one particular anti-psych med was, let me do the math, 6.67 times the usual maximum dosage administered to a patient and SHE HAD BEEN WANTING TO INCREASE HIS DOSAGE. Seems the inpatient psych ward treating docs have said this is why he apparently was so driven to difficult choices the other night, the hostile and harmful behavior he was exhibiting, and the acting out to harm himself.....landing him in the ER by way of ambulance. The earlier treating physician will likely be seeing action from those who govern military psych docs. Private action will be precluded, and frankly, right now that is beside the point as the care, the life, the love, the restoration for our son and family is paramount in every way.

Thus,
we
pray all will be well.
Thank you again for keeping up this effort!

Mark your son and your whole family remain in my prayers. I am wondering if you watched 60 Minutes last night. It was about Sen.Deeds and his mentally ill son. http://www.bing.com/search?FORM=COUP...20%2060%20mins#

There is such a lack of help for the mentally ill in this country and the stigma about mental illness cripples the progress.

We are here for you.
