As an update to my other thread, I received a call this afternoon that a bed had opened up. We brought him in tonight. He took it better than we expected. He said he didn't want to go. We told him it was a safety issue and we needed him to be safe for all of our sakes (including him). It helped that we took him to Wendy's (probably shouldn't use food as a comfort bribe-oh well).
When we were in admissions his moods fluctuated between sad, angry, and silly. He even gave me a hug and told me he loved me (he did for husband as well but he always does for husband). As usual it was hard to leave him there.
Thank you all for helping me to realize that this was a step that needed to be taken.
Please keep a good thought or say a prayer the outcome of this hospitalization is positive.
