Well he’s home
I have 2 things to write tonight and both important. The first is that M got out of the hospital tonight. It has been a rough week. Last Friday he tried to commit suicide again on the actual psych ward. This is apparently not a common experience and frightened the staff very badly, and I don’t have words for what I felt.
After that he went back to the highest security level. But over the weekend he got better. Lots of things went ok, and he got better. And tonight they released him to partial hospitalization. What that means is he’s home at night, but will be in day hospitalization Thursday, Friday and Monday. He’ll be home over the weekend and go back to school (as long as everything goes ok) on Tuesday. It meant that I had to rearrange my schedule for work, not fun since I just started there. But given I’m a single mom of a kid in the hospital and not missed a day of work, other than taking a few long lunches, I think I’ve done pretty good.

And yes, he’s very happy to be home. We’re happy to have him.
