Bean will be hospitalized tomorrow
He had a complete dissassociated explosion today...that's the term his therapist used.
All I know is that it was two straight hours of trying to get him to not hurt himself. I was home alone and attempted to take him to the hospital, but he jumped out of the car. By the time I could get to my/any phone, he was calm again. Well, calm is a bit undescriptive. He was catatonic.
However, I called the crisis line. We didn't qualify for any immediate home visit assistance, but enough wheels were turned to try to get him into the hospital, but not until tomorrow morning. And I can't leave him alone. He's resting comfortably now.
and this all came about after I finally got the acceptance to the outpatient program earlier in the day. /sigh. does the phrase a day late and a dollar short ring a bell.
My eyes burn from crying. I kept telling him, "please don't give up; i'm not giving up on you; please don't give up."
When he finally came out of the near catatonic state, he asked me: "Mom, why were you humming?"
I said, "Because since you were a baby, it has calmed you down."
"Thanks."
I'll keep you all posted how things progress. Send strength, healing, and other positive energies our way, please.
