Thanks, Christina! I hope my brother can go home tonight, too. As I type, he is getting a scary procedure done. We will be here when it is over (we've been here since late morning). My sister may come soon to relieve us and take bro home, if he is released. My brother is obviously very scared and upset.

I had to cancel my therapy appointment for this afternoon. My brother is more important. Luckily, my husband is with me. I will definitely see my psychiatrist on Friday. As great as my therapist is, my psychiatrist is my second most important support, after my husband. He really knows me and my family situation.

Dad is officially at his assisted living. My sister is finalizing his outpatient details (dual diagnosis). I'll see Dad tomorrow. I hope my brother is out of the hospital to see our dad tomorrow or the day after. He'll then give our dad the "softened" version of what happened.
