[QUOTE="Suz, post: 300750, member: 29"] EW, exdh and I talked and are going to try to take out a life insurance policy on Rob as soon as his bruises and lacerations heal. He scares both of us to pieces with his continued impulsivity. This was a horrendous reminder that he will always be a difficult child, even though he's made tremendous strides. sigh. 'Stang....please send Raoul over TONIGHT. I could use the distraction. Richard will just have to understand. :) Rehab wasn't mentioned at all in the instructions when we left. Followup with other physicians- yes. He doesn't have a primary care physician so that's on Heather's "to do" list for tomorrow. Janet, I hear ya. We've already seen many of the things you described. He's lost time, he has short term memory problems. He gets teary, then angry. His df Heather has been forewarned and has seen this as well. It is wonderful to see how gentle and loving she is with him and he is completely devoted to her. Rob didn't have a true friend until he met a guy at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) when he was 17. Can you even imagine not having a real friend until you were that old? Well, I simply cannot tell you how wonderful it was to have so many people rally around him this week. Sunday night exdh and I were up all night at his bedside, along with Heather and her Mom. On Monday, ex's new wife, Heather's dad and his girlfriend showed up, as well as Heather's brother and sister, and a friend of Rob's and the friend's girlfriend (who fainted when she saw Rob all connected up!). In addition to the many, many calls and text messages that Heather got over these days from other friends. I suspect that most of these folks are difficult children in their own right......but he was so lonely as a child and to know that so many people love him and accept him is just...well....simply wonderful.
