[QUOTE="wantpeace, post: 538957, member: 14002"] Hello, I haven't posted for awhile, but I do visit the site at least once a week to catch up. Things here took a sudden turn for the worse during this past week. My difficult child had been doing very well, or so I thought. He didn't look well on Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday evening he broke down and told me he hadn't urinated in over 24hours and was afraid it was from taking too many OTC cold medications. I rushed him to the emegency room and it was confirmed that his kidneys were not functioning. After driving to a larger hospital with more specialized care, they attached tubes to his kidneys which drained into bags. He was in serious pain and thought he was going to die when the first doctor spoke to us about kidney failure. He kept crying, saying I deserve a better son, and to tell his brothers he loves them. He also said that he's felt so misunderstood his whole life and never really fit in. He's always been a brillian, polite kid. difficult child's kidneys are now functioning normally and the tubes should be removed next week. He is very lucky. I should be relieved but I have never been so depressed in my life. He swears he'll never do any drugs again, and I'd like to believe it, but I don't.[I] I also believe that my other son knew about this and didn't bother to tell me. I am so angry with both of them. What should I do next? He's already gone to treatment twice. He's going to be off of home detention soon and will be able to leave the house. He' almost 18 as well. I do not want to bury my son! Thank you, wantpeace[/I] [/QUOTE]
