Tom update
Well, the crisis center placement never happened; on the same day I posted last Tom tried to throttle the woman who was driving him home and she had to call the cops.

When they call the cops they take the guy to the psych ER at Fairview Riverside Hospital.  Tom is now in a six-bed adolescent ward with one-on-one care.  We visited him yesterday.

This is hard for Tom, but it is the best place for him right now.  He has the best docs and nurses, a great case manager; they'll get him sorted out and they'll make sure there is a good plan in place for when he goes home.

Got to run; every day's a busy day when you have to fit in a hospital visit.  Please continue in your prayers if that's a thing you do.

Thanks.

Kid in the hospital is one of the worst. I am thinking of you.

Hun, as rotten as i may sound... I am SO glad this happened where it did and not at your home infront of James. You all could have been hurt very badly aside from the emotional damage to your house. This happened with profesionals. Who have delt with this before and are trained to deal with it. This confirms you and your family made the right choice as tough as it was. He will get good help at Fairview. I'm glad you James and hubby are safe. I know this rips you apart. HUGS

Bless Tom's heart, and yours...it sounds like he's in the right place, for the moment, and I hope and pray they'll take good care of him and help him to be back in his home safely.
