I haven't written in a while and so many things have transpired since then that I don't have time to post it all. One of the major things that has recently occurred was that the foster care agency put my son in the mental hospital so they can re-evaluate him. Honestly I disagreed with there approach because I felt it was a bit extreme way of addressing a issue he has been dealing with in school. I have no real problems with him at home it's just the school that is unable to properly supervise him. Unfortunately they reported that he missed numerous days of school so that is why the agency put him there. We were unaware that he wasn't going to classes because everyday he would get on the bus and after school he when asked how was school he said it was fine. A month ago it was discovered that he was hanging out in the music room playing drums rather than going to class. Although JD says he has been going to class since then It's my belief that he may have found another hang out spot in the school and that may be why he has been marked absent.
Just last night I went to visit him in the hospital and spent time talking with JD and playing cards with him and his brother who I brought along. I also found out that's it's been an entire week already and according to him he has not met with a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist yet. He also reported that there form of school in the hospital is a teacher who reads from a book for 20 minutes and then they go to gym and lunch and then gym again. Really sounds like a wasted of time. I really don't understand why they haven't met with him yet and I hope he get's out soon. Please pray for JD and that he comes home soon. This is the 2nd time that he has been hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital. The last time was just before he moved in with us and that was over a year ago and they had him in there with his brother for about 4 months. Thanks for your prayers. God Bless You!
