Please pray as I'm bringing Ds16 to his psych appointment at the hospital today. The worker is also coming with us. Please pray that Ds16 shows up for the appointment, that the psych. helps things and doesn't hinder, that Ds16 will be calm for the appointment and meeting with this new worker (who is now also coming on-board), that I will be acting as His arms, mouth, and feet so that His glory will be shown. I know it's a lot, and thank you! anne

Update: 1. Please pray that Ds16 shows up for the appointment: YES! 2. That the psych. helps things and doesn't hinder: YES! 3. That Ds16 will be calm for the appointment and meeting with this new worker (who is now also coming on-board): RAD anxious but polite.... YES! 4. That I will be acting as His arms, mouth, and feet so that His glory will be shown: YES!! (A big yes as my mouth has a mind of it's own, but NOT today) Don't know what will come of all of this, but this new worker is a Christian, she's going to become my prayer partner in all of this, and she GETS Ds16. Psych. today asked if the organization she works for (Bartemaeus) is like the blind Bartemaeus from the Bible and she said yes. He KNEW about Bartemaeus. wow. So, we have a new agency to pursue alongside all this as well as the place we're heading to is a youth group home and the other agency is an RTC. Quiet hope. Thanks for the prayers. anne

Thanks all. Justine, yes, it's a group home that does residential for 6 mos and is not, as I'd first thought, an RTC. Psych wants us to pursue another agency that we did try when Ds16 was around 6 yrs old but back then, they weren't interested, brushed us off from the intake to do the next week and then didn't show for the appointment, and when the dr called me for a re-book and apology, yelled at me because I wasn't willing to trust them again. So, I've asked the case coordinator about all this and am waiting on her. Regardless, he is not coming home for at least 6 mos IF he agrees to go to this group home. If not, he'll be asked to leave the shelter and be on the streets as he cannot come home without treatment. Hopefully he gets this. Please keep praying as we have that meeting for the intake at Frontenac on the 24th. We're seeing God's hand in all this, but the more that are praying for our son, the better. Thanks. anne

I will keep praying. It's good to hear that there are people who seem to understand and that there are others doing some of the work for you.

Ds16 is in at Frontenac as of tomorrow morning!!! All the time, God is good! He needs care that we cannot provide. He is telling us he is not sure he wants to come home in the spring. We'll face that bridge when we get to it. We'll also tell them at family counseling. So, while he is still stealing, he will soon be in a safe place that is very much like home. Thank you for your prayers. anne

Great news, Anne! Is Frontenac an RTC? Group home?
Either way....so glad this is happening NOW....not when he is 18 and the clock stops ticking.
Prayers for an awakening of course. Prayers for a staff with a CLUE.
