what I thought could be ...isn't.

What an emotional whirlwind these past few days have been..

My sweet nephew who experiences chemical imbalances was staying here with our family ...and because of his disability it  started to show up in the short time spent here.

I don't believe there's a need for details however, I will share that there were signs of aggression and the last time I caught it was towards one of my little one's this morning.

Instantly the sense of urgency to remove him from our home before an possible "melt down" or episode become a reality that I'd heard of.

I have cried about it and but I had the feeling of unease since this started...praying, praying and praying for wisdom;protection and peace.

But I begin to feel as a "warden" in my own home..a home where there wasn't peace any longer.

Before any of this happened this morning, I was in the Word  reading about God's Promise to David ( 2 Samuel 7) in all of it I kept rereading this verse:

3" And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee."

Little did I know that this would be the confirmation  I would need for what we were about to go through..as I didn't want to do anything outside of God's will...as this is His child!

After only 72 hours..I picked up the phone and said "help~ I'm in over my head."

I'm only to thankful for the wisdom imparted and others testimonies from the mom's meetings I attend yesterday...the counsel that came with it had benefits from "out of this world".

I'm also thankful my mil was/is so willing and ready to do what she can for him ( saying she wants to see it through)...my eyes are opened to the lifestyle she has had to live and compassion towards her is stronger than ever before.

Nana~ I commend you for not quitting or giving up and for staying in the race  even with all the heart conditions...both literal and physical. I promise to continue to lift you up daily.

So this afternoon he went for a check up with his Nana and the transition went smoothly but while they were talking with the Dr.s  he started acting strangely and suddenly snapped in front of everyone, who were able to see for the first time what is happening.  That I was given the "tell tell signs" is only a thing I can give credit to God about.

This was something his Grandparents have been dealing with and couldn't explain to the  Dr. well enough..and the Dr.s had not seen it.

It's been decided it would be safer for him to be admitted to the treatment center for observation and to correct his meds.

I'm sharing this with you to ask for prayer that the healing hands of the Lord would heal his mind and make him well.

As I'm not looking for a miracle pill...but a miracle from the Lord!

Please pray for the whole family to stay strong *together* and not become disheartened with one another or consumed with guilt.

This is now out of our hands and we don't expect to be considered again as guardians because of our own children's safety and the environment of our home (a rowdy bunch).

I trust my dear nephew is in the best hands..because the Lord is with him.   Now the peace is back.

Thank you for your well wishes and prayers as I feel blessed to call you my sister's in Christ.
