Stephen’s Comin’ Home!
After a week of pure heck, my son is getting released!
Yeah!
The doc just called and said the new medications are working and blood tests are good. Stephen hasn’t seen the “Shadow” figure since last week and will be released into momma’s care tomorrow.
Can I get a whoot!?
Lordy what a week.
When was the last time you had to visit someone in a hospital that took someone escorting you through a maze of hallways, through 3 locked MASSIVE doors, cameras and warnings of AWOL patients with alarms placed in every corridor.
Oh boy what a ride.
Poor kid.
What’s interesting to me is that there are children as young as 5 in this hospital. 5 Years old! 5!? Mind you, they are separated out – adolescents, adults and little ones. Different areas of the hospital. Can you imagine? 5?!
By the way, I have a real issue with medication. I feel as though medicating someone takes away from who they truly are inside. But there are those that live well on the medicine, so there is a good to it. I just really get that if you are anything outside the norm – I feel like they label you and give you meds instead of getting to the root of the issue. Ofcourse, they say it’s a chemical imbalance… oh, I digress. I’m not a doc.
I’m so happy!
Ofcourse he’s comin’ home to finals week……. argh

My sincere wishes for your son.
I’m sure it’s daunting challenge for everyone involved.

I am so happy for you and for Stephen too!!My heart goes out to you both.
I have a problem with “head meds” myself. I have been off all medication for a year now and feel much better without them.Although there was a time that I don’t know what would have happened to me ,if I wasn’t on them. It’s such a double edged sword.
Know that I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you tons of light in the road ahead.

chelles last blog post..Sweet Goodness -Mostly
I’ve been helping a friend of mine for the past 5 years to cope with a son who was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD and spent time going from one group home to another through Children’s Aid. Three years ago, when he turned 16 he was sent home and many times his mother had to call the police because he was out of control. He had been on medication and his mother finally decided to take him off the medication and in so doing she began to see an improvement in his behavior. He is 19 now and doing well. He still has some anger issues but is able to talk it out. I’ve spent countless hours with him just talking.
I’m not implying that medication is not good because I’m sure in the majority of cases it is needed and does help. But there are those cases where it clearly doesn’t help.

@Athena: So far so good! Thanks for the Woot!!
Gads, yesterday when I visited he begged me to get him outta there….. I swear I felt like breakin’ him out. LOL But it was only a fleeting thought. 
Thank you! I’m gonna work with him on his writing, so get it up on his site! 
@Mariuca: Thank you for the Woot!
