>Frustrated that I called M’s Psychiatrist yesterday and they haven’t called back. Left another message. Receptionist told me that I needed to call over to some unit and ask if there was a bed open. “nope,” I said. “That is the doctor’s job.” grrrrr! Tweet #fighting4answrs
>So how do I balance my health with the special mental health needs of M. I can’t just tell my heart to behave. I feel like I am always “on” when he is around. Constantly aware of what he is doing. Constant vigil. It is hard. Today my blood pressure was intense. 162/106. Which is not good, especially considering the Heart Event I had in December. So back on the metropolol for my blood pressure. Trying to get in touch with M’s psychiatrist about that empty bed for him to begin his med wash. No luck yet. M continues to act out like a baby, bark like a dog, and do those kinds of things, yesterday he stole a pocket knife and some other things. Tweet #fighting4answrs
>A prayer from a parent for their son.God,Even when he is having a bad day, we still love him, that is never in question. He exasperates us, makes us crazy sometimes, but we love him. He is our son, and important in our lives. We will take what You have given him and say thank you. THANK YOU. Oh, and God, if you are hearing this… please let tomorrow be a good day. ~ Amen Tweet #fighting4answrs
