I haven't been online for a while. One of my oldest grandsons (24) over dosed last Thursday night. Thank goodness I was working that night and was already at the hospital. I made it downstairs to ER before the ambulance even got there. He has done this before but has never come this close to dying. The ER doctor said he was only a few minutes away from expiring. His poor mother found him just in time, this time. They had him on a vent for two days in ICU. He also had aspirated into his lungs so he also had pneumonia in his right lung. They moved him to a regular room on medical Sunday. He is still on a 96 hour hold until the psychologist evaluates him. He has to have a sitter with him at all times. His ER doctor sincerely believes that he didn't try to commit suicide. He just literally took too many mixture of pills. Isn't that a type of suicide? ? He had every type of drug in his system along with pot. He had told his mom earlier that he had smoked some really strong good pot. No telling what it was laced with. He had taken over 25 Zanax. He said he had shot up Oxicontin (spelling?) That means he had to melt it and mix it with water to get into his veins. He has been to re-hab many, many times. He has dryed completely out from alcohol and drugs and has started up time and time again. We even sent him away to a rehab center for over 30 days. He got drunk the night he came home after being dry 30 days. We have spent thousands and thousands trying to help this young man. I don't want to give up on him but I'm at my wits end. He has talked to many, many counselors, pshychologist, etc and he tells them what they want to hear. Nothing seems to be working. This nice looking young man is literally destroying himself and there is nothing we can do about it. So please, please pray for him and our family. Of all of my 12 grandchildren (he is the 2nd oldest grandson) he is the only one having these kind of problems.
