Hey again, Hex.
Lots of stuff going on with difficult child 2. You sound like you have some composure through all this, I give you kudos, my friend.
It's good that the staff is seeing true colors quickly. I hope they're able to help him, get a good plan in place, and get him home. His thoughts are surely worrisome.
I hope you enjoyed the horse riding with the other 2. It sounds like fun. We have a horse farm behind us, and the kids love them. I haven't braved getting them on yet, but we're thinking about it for spring.
Hang in,
Janna
