I am trying to respond as I can. I have so many PMs. You guys have been so good to me. There is another pea who is having a similar situation right now and she needs your prayers too so if you wouldn't mind praying for her child as well I would appreciate it. Of course, she has my thoughts, vibes, positivity, whatever it takes. You are an absolute sweetheart jeremysgirlSo glad you have had a little respite to rebuild your strength. Thank you for keeping us in the loop.

Your son is getting the help he needs and I'm very glad that they're going to admit him to a mental health facility that can really take care of him and teach him how to self manage his bipolar disorder and depression. It doesn't surprise me that he's still talking about doing it again, because he hasn't started the theraputic intensive that will happen in a good mental health unit. You might want to ask the social worker for information about the inpatient facilities that they're considering. Then you can do some research and see which one will be the best for your son's situation.
Keep taking breaks from the hospital. Go to dinner w/a friend, get a good night's sleep and remember to take good, loving care of yourself. Caring for yourself helps you to take care of your son. My prayers are w/you and our other pea.

It was a better day today. He's still on oxygen and has developed a bit of pneumonia. But overall today seemed better. We got a chance to talk a bit. My dad was here this morning, DD came this afternoon, and my sis stopped by this evening. My nieces know he's sick and they colored him get well cards and he just thought that was wonderful. My DD was emotional so it was absolutely the right call to limit information and not have her see him when he was on the ventilator. I got to have an hour one on one with my sister and that was nice. My family can be a bit crazy at times but when the chips are down, everybody shows up to help.
I am just sitting here watching him sleep and getting to pea. I feel optimistic.

It's a nice change. I spent about 36 hours feeling like my brain was scrambled eggs. I went through the whole range of human emotion. Right now I feel pretty calm.

You've done a lot of work to be at that point, and I am very proud of you. So happy your boy is going to get more help.

Praying for continued peace. Breathe deeply. You need to stay as strong as possible for your DS and lean on others when you need to. Take it day-by-day or even hour-by-hour right now. ((HUGS)) to you 🥰
