Well done @Anastasia , you are amazing, with all the pressure you've been under.
Keeping fingers crossed the hospital rings today!!

Thank you @NatureLover
I'll leave the office today around 1030 to pick my boy up and take him to the hospital. He will be there for a minimum of 21 days. In that time I hope that his medications will be assessed, changes made and that he comes out more like himself than he currently is.
I have learned he has another health hurdle to jump, however perhaps it's, no in fact I have no doubt it's impacting everything. So once he's out of hospital I will focus on that along with other supports through his NDIS and hopefully forge forward 🙏
The Universe responded to me this week in so many ways. I am grateful and with him going to hospital I will use the time to replenish my own cup. I am spending the weekend with a very dear friend. Something that would have been difficult to do without my boy in hospital. That will be the start of my self care over the coming days, weeks.
I am so grateful for your check ups during what has been an incredibly emotional and difficult few weeks, thank you NL, you really are a gem. 💕
I hope that all is ok in your World? I feel very detached at the moment from all news within the forum. I am sending you love and light and wonderful things ahead from our very dear and shared higher power "The Universe" 🙏

So encouraging that your boy thought to send you a pic of his room all set up for his stay over the next 3 weeks.
He'll be ok, as will you - I feel it!! ❤️❤️
