Thank you so very much PleaseHelp, HeartWhispers, pegasus and Tishie!
Your words mean more to me than I can express.
I've been doing a lot of research on my grandsons symptoms and unfortunately, I'm not very encouraged at this moment. Childhood Schizophrenia keeps popping up as a possibility. It's very difficult to diagnose because of overlapping symptoms and quite frankly, his age. So I guess time will tell if this is what his issue is or not.
What absolutely breaks my heart the most is that he KNOWS he needs to be in hospital right now. The intake worker at the ER told my daughter that he has NEVER worked with a child who was as calm as my grandson was and who could articulate what his symptoms and issues are like an adult. He said my grandson is extremely intelligent and has superb insight (which we already knew of course!). He said all the other children he's had to evaluate for possible hospitalization have been off the wall, screaming and hitting and not wanting to go to the hospital, but not my grandson, he is relieved to be there and knows he needs to be on meds again. I mean, how wonderful is that and at the same time, how profoundly sad
Again, thank you for your wonderful care and support. I need you guys right now, more than you know.

I will be visiting the boy this afternoon and I can't wait to get my grammie arms around him!

to you all!
