Prayers and positive thoughts for my son [View all]

My son was hospitalized today. I got a call today that a well check was placed on my son. He called his neurologist basically with a goodbye letter. I arrived home to police and ambulance. I called dispatch on the way to get an update. He has chronic migraines and chronic insomnia as well as depression. We were about to try botox because none of the other medications work. But the sleep deprivation is absolutely brutal. He told the officers he had a plan. I am so thankful for their help and support. I am grateful he is safe and getting care that I cannot provide. He is my heart. He is my world. Positive thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. If you have any advice or suggestions, I am open to hearing them.
