[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 101902, member: 3579"] Scared, mainly. But then again, he was scared when he nearly died from asthma in April, too. The lung damage is "bad", but unfortunately it's also "early stage", which means that if he stops smoking and stays away from smoke and other irritants, the damage will reverse itself (he's still young enough for that to happen). I'm worried that all he heard was "you're young, and the damage isn't permanent". Maybe I'm wrong, though, and he heard the truth. After all, he actually got up this morning and remembered to take all his medications without prompting; quite a feat, since we normally have to leave them out for him then remind him ten times to take them. This morning, he beat us to the breakfast table and took all his medications before I could go down and get them out. Maybe there's hope... I'm sure that community service will be part of whatever diversion or sentence he receives, and I really like your suggestion. I'll make sure we keep it in mind when working with the prosecutor. On Weedette, he's doing a good job of pulling away on his own. For now, I think I'll let him move at his own pace, and only step in if I see him start to really cave in to her. It would be much better if he did this on his own, and claimed victory in his own name without anybody's help. Mikey [/QUOTE]
