Difficult, but Necessary
12:00pm Details will have to follow another day, but please be in prayer for Mike (and the Doctors, nurses, aides, techs, etc.). I had him admitted to a psychiatric ward tonight. Not easy to do, but somebody needs to figure something out to help us. I am thankful that Dr. Silver did not hesitate to give us a referral. Hopefully this will have a beneficial outcome. My hope is that this will allow the professionals to adjust medication and deal with the fallout since they have the knowledge and staff to handle the behavior. Tracey drove us over and after almost 5 hours, he's admitted, we're home, and now I'm going to bed. Please pray this will make a huge difference in Mike's recovery and our lives. Thank you so much.

You have made a good decision. May God use the doctors in miraculous ways with Mike. Rest peacefully! We love you all!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and Mike, and all who come in contact with him. Difficult but Necessary - that speaks volumes. Jennifer, I hope that while Mike is hospitalized you're able to take some time for yourself. Time to vent, to rest, to take long walks, have a glass of wine, read a book. For me that would mean screaming at the sky while downing chardonnay and Cheetos but I lack your grace.
ReplyDeleteSending you love
It sounds like you made the right choice. You can only do so much. Rest in the Lord, Jennifer. We're praying for you!

I so hope that this will, as you said, lead to a quicker and more complete recovery. We love you so much, and you've tried so hard. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful that you're following Gods leading! Love you!
ReplyDeleteJennifer praise God that the dr.saw what youve been seeing. Will pray for your rest in Him & perfect solutions for Mike. Luv you! Lynn :)
ReplyDeleteTBI patients are so unpredictable and can be so dangerous when family members, such as yourself, try to maintain them at home. I have been in the medical field long enough to know that you should release this burden and allow yourself peace Jennifer. God knows you've done more than most would have ever even attempted. I will fervently pray for you and your family as I know everyone is affected differently. Love, Amy Cooper
ReplyDeleteOh, such a hard decision, Jennifer, I know. It hurts, but you can be sure you're doing the best thing for him and for you. You've been trusting God the whole way through, and He will not let you down. Prayers, prayers, more prayers, and big tight hugs for you
ReplyDeleteLifting you & Mike up in prayer! Hoping for great results in this new chapter of recovery.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely praying that this will make a significant difference in Mike's life - and in yours as well.
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying, Jennifer.
