Chaos reigns! Landis the Contractor came with his power drill and his 5 year old son and got the whole wall's worth of shelving down in about 15 minutes. Then for bonus he whipped out his knife, cut our old carpet in half and helped us yank it out from under the couch and furniture and got the whole thing out to the back of his truck for a dumpster run.
We are officially at the stage where nothing is normal and we just have to plow ahead to get to the other side.

Ugh, moving is THE WORST, *but* I just keep thinking of the pictures of the new house you've posted on FB, and how all the weird state-of-limbo chaos is going to be SO worth it when everyone is finally all settled in.

Oh I know this stage so well, but the other side of it is going to be SO AMAZING!
Timelies all!
We ended up getting him into an inpatient ward at Children's Hospital, since the ER visits weren't helping. I don't know how long he'll be there. Right now I'm feeling like a complete failure as a mom.
I hope it helps. It all sounds so hard with no easy solutions.
{{Sheryl}} That must have been a tough decision. I hope it helps.

Sheryl, this is a very, very hard situation your family is in. But you are the opposite of a failure here -- you are pursuing treatment to help your son, and that is my definition of a great parent. There is no way in which you've failed him.
{{{Sheryl}} I know how difficult this decision is. I had to hospitalize my son Brendon a couple times as a teen due to drug issues. You are doing what you need to do for the health and safety of your child. You and Gary have been wonderful parents who are doing everything possible to give your son the care and treatment he needs. Please be kind to yourselves. You are caring loving parents.
Steph and Laura are right. The challenges you've been handed with Mr. S are NOT the standard things like skinned knees and refusing to eat vegetables that every parent is expected to deal with on their own. You're seeking out people with the expertise to give your son the help he needs.
(((Sheryl and Mr S))) But I think this is a good thing
