Update, and a huge thanks to everyone!!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here... You prayers and well wishes have been one of the high points of my day. Again, thanks to everyone from the bottom of my heart. As for the update, My little one is doing ok... I wasn't allowed to see him today as visitation is only on Saturday and Sunday from 1-2pm, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7pm. I was able to talk to him on the phone, and he seemed happy and told me he had a good day. No fits today. In talking with the Doctor and the Social Workers today, they are almost hoping to see one of his fits, so they know what they are dealing with. Anyway.... they are starting him on Lithium today, and expect a 7 day stay in the hospital. I can't wait to see him tomorrow. Once I have seen him again, I think the rest of his stay will be a little easier... on me anyway. Atleast I know he is eating well. When I called this morning to check on him the nurse was surprised how well he ate... everything off of his hot tray, and then 2 bowls of cereal on top of that. The nurse asked him if he always ate that much and he said "Yes, My mommy feeds me breakfast in the morning, and then when I get to daycare, I eat breakfast there too" And then he proceeded to tell the nurse... "When I eat with my mommy, I eat all my food, and then finish hers... she had Gastric Bypass surgery and can't ever finish her own food, so I eat it". The little buggar... luckily he isn't following in my footsteps... he is lean as could be, and doesn't have an ounce of fat anywhere. So I guess all is okay at this point... It will be good to see him tomorrow... Maybe once I see for myself, I can enjoy some of the quiet, and stress-free time here at the house. Thanks again everyone!!!! You are all a wonderful group of folks!!!! Susan

Morning Susan, I'm glad we where of some comfort for you. At least your son is not screaming and crying to come home so maybe being there will help him in the long run. If they can get him on the right track with his Meds. then it will be wonderful. I wish you all the luck and keep us posted oh how your both doing. Hugs Donna 338/229 -109

Oh Susan, This is such good news! And 7 days is not a long time to get him situated and medication tweaked. He'll be back home in no time! He's proud of you and your weight loss, and is even bragging on you. Cher'. Keep the faith, girl. It is paying off. We're all with you in spirit and in prayer. Karen -78 lbs
