I am so sorry that they were such jerks and did not tell you all what they had tested him on and that the school did not follow his right IEP. This is not acceptable at all and you have every right to write that letter and I think it would be good to talk to a lawyer.

The fact that so much of this could have been headed off or at least been helped through the right medications and having a worker with him at all times could very well have kept him calmer in that they could have detected when he began to feel himself getting anxious and done something to help him calm down or even get him to a place where there were no other people.

They have done him wrong and should be held accountable for this. Five years is a long time to make him go on without the help he deserves and should have had, the time that could have been helping him all along. Hopefully the concerta will help him and the other meds he is now on.

I hear the anger and I validate how you feel, you have every right to how you are feeling and your anger here is okay. Let it out, as holding it in is not good for you. We are standing right beside you and will hold you up as you are going through this with our support, encouragement, love, and just be here to listen as you can or need to talk and/or vent.

((((sabby)))) allow yourself to cry and feel that anger, you have every right to do so and I know it is weighing heavy on your heart. I am sure that if it was one of us going through it we would feel the same way. (And I could hear you saying to allow yourself to feel and cry). But remember to breath and to take those breaks for yourself to regroup and listen to your heart.

Know that we are listening and that we care. You are so loved by us all. Know that God is listening too and He is there with you through this. I know it is really bad but something will come of this good. Your grandson will now get the help he needs and deserves, and he will continue to grow and get better. He is a wonderful boy and he is so loved by many.

Your grandson has something very special going in his life----his grammie, who will do all she can for him and stand beside him all the way. His mother is there for him too and I know that she is doing all she can too. Determination and love can do things and he is so loved, and his grammie is so determined as are his mother, family, and thoe now working with him.

Please hang in there and keep posting and letting us know how he is doing and how you are doing. Know that I am here for you and love you very much. I send you and your grandson, and family many gentle hugs and loving thoughts. And many prayers are going up throughout this time for all of you and the doctors and mental health agency.

We are here for you. Always.
