[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 224278, member: 1233"] Transparent, it can be hard to get a bed. With the reaction of the doctor AND the intake nurse, well, I think you know what NEEDS to be done. I know your mommy heart hurts. I know husband's daddy heart hurts. I know you just want your boy home, healthy and happy and safe. Right now you know he isn't healthy. He also may not be SAFE. If this were an obvious, visible physical ailment you would hate admitting him, but you would do it. My STRONGEST piece of advice to all parents here is to follow your gut instinct. The ONLY times I made really major mistakes with ANY of my kids has been when my gut said something and I didn't follow it because the doctor or my heart said otherwise. In your heart you just want to love your son. In your gut you KNOW something is very wrong, and you KNOW he NEEDS real HELP. The absolute best Christmas gift you can give to your son is to go ahead and admit him. you will be giving him a gift of health. they may not keep him until Christmas. Or you might have to spend Christmas with him at the hospital, or he might be able to have a pass to come home on Christmas. I hope you are able to follow your gut and give your son the gift of KNOWING that mom and dad will ALWAYS make the hard decisions at this point. And that they care enough to do whatever it takes to help him - even if it hurts their hearts terribly. Sending gentle hugs, and support for whateer you and husband decide. [/QUOTE]
