Let's Do Lunch Community

Roger and friends,

My son is currently in a L.A. county physic hospital holding room. He is delusional and has no health insurance. He will be transferred somewhere in the county to another facility for treatment as soon as a free bed can be located. It is the weekend and quick action is not likely as there are no social workers available.

Please pray for us.

Love
Joe

Joe.
You and your family with be in my thoughts.

Dear Lord Jesus, provide the deliverance from the torment this young man is going through. Open the perfect place for him to go to be restored. In Jesus name, Amen

Joe
Your family and especially your son are in our prayers.

Joe, I was touched by your request.  God is our heavenly Father so He loves our kids more than we do, so you're so right when you ask for prayer.  May God give him healing and strength for you.  and prayers, JF

Joe - I will be praying for your son, you, and the rest of your family.  God is in control.  May He give you strength for the days to come and guide you as you look for the best doctors and treatments.  Country Girl

Lord, Please put your hand on this family and especially Your son...please heal him, in Jesus Mighty & Holy Name AMEN!!!

I can't imagine what it's like to HAVE to wait for your child to get treatment when there is something wrong with him. I thought it was the law, that they HAD to treat anyone who had a medical emergency.

Roger (and all)

Not to worry, he is being treated but they are limited in the ER as to how far they can go until he is placed in a room in the main part of the hospetial. We were told today that he will remain at the hospital he is in and placed sometime this afternoon or early evening. Blood test show no drugs and his cat scan was negative. We visit him twice a day and he is relaxed but still delusional...........keep praying, I love you all

Joe

Joe,
  Prayers are headed your way. May God lay his healing hand upon your son and give you and your family  strength during this time.

Praying for your son, Joe!

Take Care!

My Dear LDL Friends:

It's been just over a year since Mike's medical problems began. Because he had no insurance he was placed under the county system. One of the medications he is on (Geodon) is outrageously expensive. Mike got it for free but in order to do that he had to stay with the county and that kept Delia and I from being able to get him help in the private sector.

Recently, he got a letter from Pfizer, the manufacturer of Geodon, telling him he had been excepted into their program which provides patients with the medication for free! I called Pfyzer and the told me the medication they were supplying was the full dose and that it was transferable into the private sector.

This changed everything! We saw the new doctor today and he is begining to make changes that will allow Mike to deal with the negative side effects of the other medications he takes (the Geodon was not the problem, it was just too expensive).

This is the short version of the story. We still have expenses that are related to this but we can handle them. The point is that God has been good to us, Mike is going to be much better off and I am so very thankful for all the prayers.

Joe , my prayers to you and your family to get you through this crisis, Cindy

Joe,
I just read your full post. My  middle son is also on Geodone and doing well with it. But prior to that they tried many different meds that left him at times in the same state your son is in. It will get better it has for my son. As a parent it is horrible to watch your child go through that. It will work out.
Peace,
Cindy

Cindy:

Thank you so much for your kind words. People have been coming out of the woodwork with their own experiences, it is as if we joined some kind of exclusive club of families who are dealing with the fallout of a mental health patient in the family. Things are looking up for Mike and the opportunity of getting him with a private practitioner has put him in a fresh and positive frame of mind.

We also found out that Walgreen's has a discount program that will cover his other medications. Stay tuned!

Joe

Joe,
Im glad things are falling into place, Im sure its a club you never wanted to join! There is so much of it out there and so many people never get help. When my son was first diagnosed with anxiety disorders it was a year of hell trying to figure which med would work. Many caused other things such as what you dealt with. It was very hard on the whole family but we got through  it, and he is now stable and like he use to be before the anxiety and depression. Hang in there and keep us posted. Keep your faith, I know that is what got me through our ordeal!
Peace,
Cindy

Update!

Mike recently was told by his therapist that because he was doing so well that she felt weekly visits were no longer necessary. He now sees her every other week!

Also over a long period of time (months) Mike's psychiatrist has been slowly lowering his Geodon. He is now at 60mg from 120mg and doing great!

The hope is that he can eventually live drug free.

God bless you all,
Joe

It is likely he can especially if he follows the LDL plan.
