Well, we got what we could only hope for...docs cooperation on changing meds and letting him stay a whole longer to see if it works. We had a very fruitful meeting with doc and therapist and felt that they were on the same page which was great. Jason will be in the hospital at least to the weekend and we will go from there.
The next big thing...we may need to find an alternative school for him. Regular 7th grade may be a little difficult for him. We have to talk to teachers after the holiday and see what we can do. There is a private school here that would be great..it is a school for kids with Learning Challenges and smaller classes. The trick is that we have to get the school system to pay for it. J has an IEP(Individualized Education Plan) and our system here doesnt have many options for kids who need less stimulation.
PRAYER REQUESTS TODAY
First:THANKS SO MUCH for praying. All the things we needed to happen, happened. We are so grateful especially during this gratefulness season to have such committed prayer warriors.
Second: Pray for the meds to kick in as soon as possible so we can see what they do AT THE HOSPITAL and not after he gets home. Pray that they will help Jason to FOCUS and FOLLOW THROUGH with his tasks.
Third: Pray for Russ and I as we decide next steps as far as his education. Jason is very bright(and I am not just saying that as a parent)and we need to find somewhere that wont overwhelm him but will challenge him and engage him in what his potential is..(basically..help him to be what God made him to be)....
Fourth:Give praises to the Lord for what He does. We are all so blessed to be able to come to the throne and lay the things down that burden us. Russ and I are so blessed to have a personal relationship with the King of Kings! The Lord of Lords! Jesus! He is using you to be a part of the healing of this young man who needs desperately to find peace and comfort that he has never experienced. We are privileged God chose us to be his parents and to walk on this journey with him.
Will continue to update in a few days so have a blessed Thanksgiving and wherever you are, be grateful for the freedom we have because a group of Christians needed to find a place that they could worship freely the Lord they chose to follow. We are benefiting from their sacrifices.
Be grateful for family and all the gifts that each, quirky person brings to you. Actually, I have decided we ALL are quirky in our own way!
Peace,Lisa, Russ and Steven
