    wife admitted to hospital

    Hello all,

    My wife was admitted to the hospital this Friday for suicidal thoughts and severe clinical depression. She has Bi-Polar and has been extremely unstable since January. When we went to her emergency session with her P-Doc at 11am on Friday he was extremely concerned because he has literally tried everything he can think of.

    He had me take her directly to the Psych ward after we went home briefly to get clothes for her. His plan of action is one of kind of a last resort... Electro-Shock Therapy, which means she will be in the hospital for at least two weeks, perhaps more.

    I am very fortunate that both our Mom's are retired. Her Mom is flying out this Wednesday and is staying until the 18th and then my Mom is flying out the 18th and can stay indefinitely. I am also lucky in that my son is so young that he doesn't really understand what is going on - 2-1/2 years old - he thinks she is working as he knows Daddy has to go away for work all the time so it makes sense to him. Since I have to travel several times in August I feel good that my wife and son will have the Mom's around to make sure things are taken care of.

    If you would please say a prayer for my wife I would really appreciate it. I would really like to have my wife and my son's Mom back! I have really missed her for so long. The years have really taken there toll on our little family.

      I heard on Dr. Dean Edell a husband call in and he wife had electro-shock therapy 2 years ago and it completely turned their lives around in a positive direction again.

      All the best,

        Halbur,
        My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and with the docs as well.

        Come back here when you need someone to lean on. I don't know much about this illness but I can listen.

            Whenever I see your avatar I see this beautiful loving family. I know you have struggled so hard to help your wife and your son. You are a saint. I am praying very hard for that family on your avatar. Electroshock often does miraculous things. Keep the faith. We all are with you.
            :l
            Rest in Peace, Bear. We miss you.

                All the best Hablur, hope the treatment will be successful. You're really fortunate to have all the backing of the retired mums.

                Stay strong,

                  Thanks for sharing this with us, Hablur. ECT sounds like a good move at this time, and the technique has come so far even in the last 10-15 years. You wife is lucky to have you, and it is great that both of your moms can come and help.

                  My thoughts are with you and your wife and your son. I'm glad that he will be able to look at this as "fun with grandmom" time.

                  Hugs,:l :l

                        prayer already said

                        So many times people say that they will...when I say it I mean it.

                        I think that you and I spoke at one time. You are an awesome guy...and your family will get through this. Hopefully, this is the worst of it.
