Back story: Barbara an I are adoptive parents. We got Michael (32) when he was three weeks old and his sister Sarah (35) at two months old.
Michael's biological father was a piece of work. Doper!
So we have blamed his bipolar on his genetic paternal background. God only knows, really.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

that just sucks carl. offering prayers to the great healer for spencer's total recovery.
I can only imagine the emotions you're experiencing but trust you're able to maintain yourself. spencer needs you now more than ever.

Caution to would be adoptive parents:

Pay attention to a child's biological background. Learn as much as possible about family medical history.

Michael has had serious problems since he was eight. At first it was tagged ADHD and now as bipolar. When he is stable and on the proper meds he is a warm and loving person.

On the plus side (?), I know how to get to the KC Metro police station. 7601 Prospect in south KC.

I feel for you Carl. My Mother has been Bi-polar/Manic Depressive her whole life (along with some other issues from childhood) and I grew up with the wild swings from screaming the most unimaginable things at a child to over the top lovey-dovey let me buy you something to make up for it crap... I had to call the cops on her a few years back as she was within minutes to hours of committing suicide. She was on Lithium until I was around 12 and then She decided that she no longer had a problem. She stopped using the meds and I lost the mother I knew to Dr Jekel/Mr. Hyde swings of brain chemicals... She did more damage with words than anyone has ever tried to do to me physically in any capacity.

I don't know what to tell you other than try to keep a level head, get as much of the facts as you can and try not to blow your top if you can avoid it. It'll only make things worse.
If you need anything, I'm still on minor pain meds but I'm pretty coherent and I think you have my number.

Morning midlanders.

[cobey]

Let me know if you need anything Carl

 

[workshop]

Prayers from the Ozarks, my friend.

 

[67L36Driver]

Here he is. Eyelids open a bit sometimes, fingers and feet move occasionally.
Hope this works as Hospital is a Sprint 'black hole'.

 

[jetmd]

Carl, just say the word if you need anything. Keep in mind Brenda and I are about half way between Children's and Joe town, we live right off of Hwy 169.
If you need a pit stop or hot cup of joe, a snack or anything. Brenda is retired and home most of the time. Our door is always open.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Oh my God... f you need anything, let me know.

 

[Hedgerow]

Poor little fella.
Prayer up for spencer.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Carl Please continue the updates prayers for you Barbra, Spenser and his mother.

 

[67L36Driver]

Small amount of progress today. Moving fingers and feet a bit more. And eyes open a little bit.

Going back in the morning.
