Prayer Request
FRmail | July 19, 2005 | Brad's Gramma

Posted on 07/19/2005 10:23:43 PM PDT by Brad’s Gramma

Hi everyone....I received a FRmail from someone tonight regarding her son. Since she doesn't appear to be online, I don't feel I can include her screen name. If she wants SHE can let you know who she is.

Here's her FRmail...If it wouldn't be too much trouble would you mind posting a prayer request for my son? He is in crisis right now and may have to be hospitalized on a suicide watch. We aren't sure exactly what is wrong but hopefully will be able to get a full evaluation done now. This little guy is only 7 and has been having difficulties since at least age 3. Thanks so much. Blessings...

OK Prayer Warriors, I KNOW I've been hitting this list a lot lately, and if you want off the ping list, please let me know. It's OK.

But will you PLEASE pray for this poor baby who's hurting so badly? And his family? Thank you!

We're all waiting for him to give them to him. I just hope that this hospitalization did him some good.

Prayer ping update. Please read through the posts by sfimom. She is experiencing major attitudes from the nurses and has yet to talk to the doctor since her child was admitted!

Please post your replies to sfimom


sfimom, My prayers continue for Damian and you. God's guidance to all in this situation.

Blessings,
trussell

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.

I've read through the thread...I have to admit I am appalled that the medical team would treat you with so much disrespect!! You are the mother and have a RIGHT to talk with the doctor who is treating your son!!

I am pleased to read that you will not be allowing your son to be taken back to this facility!

Definitly not. The other hospital is in the next state over but if he needs treatment again I feel that I have a right to be a part of that even if it has to be via telephone. I can't wait till he gets home tomorrow...........lol I'm probably not going to be able to sleep tonight.

Cleanse me of sin with hyssop, Lord, that I may be purified;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow,
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

:(

Sad to hear this.

Some of my best friends have suffered from Depression, and a few even contemplated suicide, so this isn't a subject that I'm completely unfamiliar with.

Let's hope that her son is able to bridge this troubled period in his life.

Best of luck to both her and her son!

-Sincerely, G.J.P. (Jr.)

Thanks for the update...glad you answered through mail - hoping you would. Been praying for y'all. Brad's Gramma is right. He needs to be involved with a good church group and be able to experience the positive interactions with trained Christian counselors and kids his age in that environment. Tell him there are a lot of folks at FR who are hoping he is feeling better, and sending our love and hugs to him through his mommy. God bless.

I agree with the other people on this list that said he will need to be enveloped in a loving, moral, religious structure when he gets home. I hope you have or know of a good church.

I too am glad you get him out of a hospital where the doctors are too busy to talk to the parents of a 7-yr-old patient! That is just WRONG.

I would expect an acting out episode soon after the honeymoon period (less than a day). Don't freak out when this happens. He is testing his limits. Best to tell him during the huggy honeymoon period right when you get him home that "XYZ" (violence, attitude, anything you decide) will not be tolerated because it's your job to love him and make sure he grows up to be a GOOD man. This way, when he does whatever he WILL do to test your limits, you can respond firmly with what you said you would do (time out, lack of a privilege, whatever you do) and he will know that he is loved but has to meet certain expectations.

He desperately needs you to be in control. He may really act out for you and he needs you not to "freak." Cry and freak out when he can't hear you at night, but in front of him just get a mantra or an actor's line memorized such as "We love you very much, but you cannot do that and if you do that, we have to do this." Deliver it boringly straight and calm, like Ben Stein.

Hey -- if you don't need any of this, so much the better! Wishing you a loving and great reunion with your son. I know you are everything to him at this age. Everything. No matter what he shows.
