Son #2 is now a patient- same hospital where his mom was a patient just about a year ago. We took him there last night after he met with a therapist and his suggestion was that the boy needed some immediate accessement and treatment.
So, he's getting it. Seems his troubles were bigger than he had been willing to share with ol' Mom & Dad. Or his counselor or Job Corp, who was kind enough to call this morning to ask how and what was happening with him. She sounds like a lovely woman and it was obvious from her call that she thinks the world of Son #2. The boy has already called with clothing and personal gear requests and he sounded upbeat about the circumstances so far. Good.
I've loaded up his new cell phone with prepaid minutes and the essential numbers he needs until he gets back home and into school.
Now there are lots of other chores to run today before going to see him tonight!
UPDATE: Sunday, 11 Aug. The young man is doing well. He has been moved into a less restrictive unit and started on meds. More are planned for today. We visited last night nad except for the "sleepy" factor that most of those meds cause, he was in decent spirits and cooperating with the program.
I expect he will be home by the end of the week.
