That all sounds very exciting and exhausting, Hec!! But soon it’ll all be over!!
Anyone have suggestions of what I should put for goals, for work? They have some template language but I’m supposed to add stuff. I am uninspired.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sheryl, I am so sorry. I hope you and Gary can get some rest while S is in hospital.
E was in a hospital twice. Once for 10 days.
He was in weekly therapy and then once or twice appts with pediatric psychiatrists after the first hospitalization and it was instrumental, I think, in regulating his behaviors and getting him the tools he needed to learn.
If there is a large foster care or adoption agency near you, I would reach out to them as resources for therapy options.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sheryl, what everyone else said. You are doing what a good parent should in a really difficult situation-- getting your child the help they need.
What lisah said.

Hey Sheryl, I'm sure it has been a very tough day for you. Have you had any reports from the hospital?

Thrive to spite them
Sheryl you are not a failure as a mom-- you are doing everything you can for your son and I hope that the inpatient time is good for him and once he is out that there will be a good follow up plan and you'll find a good therapist that will help him.
Hec that is a lot but it's so amazing to see all the progress.
The kitten is growing on me.
I actually spent a few days with Mom. Tomorrow she's driving to VA to spend the weekend and see E. Monday he gets his braces off (well he has top teeth only braces) then Tues they drive back to NC, Wed he is going to summer camp here. M and I are driving to Mom's Tuesday to get some brief E time and also see him off to camp on Wed. Mom's knees are really bothering her and the camp is going to let family walk campers to their cabins & meet tehir counselors this year (they didn't last year). So M & I are going to do that since Mom can't make the walk. M is super excited.
We will probably get Mexican so E can see the owner of the restaurant that likes him and always asks after, play some Monopoly or Catan, then have breakfast in the morning at Mom's regular place so E can see the other people who always ask after him.
Then next Thursday is my birthday. Next Wed is my appointment with the neurologist to go over my FCE results. The case worker will be apart of that. She called me and verified the work phone numbre (she had it wrong) bc she was trying to find out about light duty options. So that's all going well. I assume I'll be back to work very very soon.
Tomorrow I have an ultrasound follow up from my mammogram.

I don't know much, but Gary says the hospital has spoken with Mr. S's psychiatrist and they're trying to figure out adjustments to his meds. Also, Gary got a phone call from Mr. S who told him to tell his stuffed animals that he misses them. (and to tell me he loves me)

Oh, that is lovely, Sheryl. He feels your love and knows you are trying to help him navigate this life.

Hanging in there as best as I can.Try and get some rest even though I suspect the parental instincts are making that kinda rough.
What a sweet call from Mr S. I’m glad Gary shared that and then you shared it with us.
My Uncle Jimmy is in town for tonight and tomorrow until early evening.
This was motivation to massively clean all rooms but the room of shame and who the hell knows what’s in there.
That door stayed closed when he asked for a tour. But he was complimentary of the rest of the house.
My Boy came over for dinner (I cooked) and everyone declared it good and themselves stuffed. Success.
I really need to keep my house this clean, including getting all of the Things out of the office and letting it actually be an office again.
Small goals.
