I know that it is only by the Grace of God my son made it home from Florida before he totally decompensated. It is also through God's Grace that I have so many wonderful people in my life - people who love us and pray for us, people like our friend who helped me get him into McLeans. The last few days were awful - I actually had to call the police to help us and when my son realized it he took off into the woods behind our house. Fortunately it wasnt a long search and the police dog located him quickly but it was awful.

Deez......The timelyness (sp?) of your post is almost uncanny....A God-incidence maybe ??
On my run this morning I thought about your son and added him to my intentions.
You are your family are in my prayers.

Denise,
Sounds like you are faithful - Your faithfulness will be your strength and continue to praise His name. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
Denise, when you mentioned "family issues" the other day in one of your posts I was afraid it might be this. I've been praying for him and you ever since and will continue to do so.
Blessings, Bill

Oh Denise....another coincidence - I was also thinking of you this morning while waiting at my DS’s ortho appointment...(strange how we are all connected that way)....I was reading a book that I got at a church retreat last year called The Worn-Out Woman and I was thinking of e-mailing you and recommending it. Well, now more than ever I think you might benefit from it. This has got to be just overwhelming for you – you and your DS and the rest of your family are in my prayers....(((hugs)))
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
I pray that your family finds a new stability. Though there will be tribulations, there will also be unexpected rewards.
Please take care of yourself as well as your son. You do not have to go through this alone.

I've often wondered when talking with my clients who have mental health diagnoses why their meds can't be administered via a patch, as with estrogen or the nicotine patches. It wouldn't be a 100% solution, but might help at least some folks.
Of course I will pray for your family and wishing you continued grace and strength.

I'm embarassed to say I totally didn't get it when you mentioned this the other day. Thoughts and prayers for strength and discernment through this terribly difficult period. {{{ Denise }}}

Denise - I do not think it a coincidence that so many of us were thinking of you and your family without knowing the current difficulties through which you are trying to find your way. God truly does work in mysterious ways. May you find peace in knowing so many have you and your family in their thoughts and prayers and that with God, all things are possible - even those times that try our souls to the very core.
