Its a sad day for me. My Best Friend of years called me this morning to tell me her nephew who is 12 years old. Tried to commit suicide on Thursday night. It was devastating to me to hear that. He took 48 anti-seizure medicine between 1-3am. He was fine around 7am, chipper wide awake and coherent. Well, his Mom came home for lunch and found all the boys sleeping well she was able to wake the two oldest ones. She tried and tried to wake the youngest with no luck. So she called 911. He was then airlifted to Iowa City, Iowa because they have the best medical care for children up there in Iowa. They eventually had to put him on a venitlator to help him breath, well he was fighting it of course because he was starting to wake up from the coma. So they decided to sedate him and it caused him to slip into a deeper coma. His kidneys were starting to shut down last night. It was not looking good for him. Well his Grandma just called my Best Friend to inform her that he is starting to come around. I got to her house as soon as she called me this morning in case something happened. I kept reminding her, that he will be alright. Kids are resilient to stuff like this. I also so on a sign today at a church that I thought would help my BF. "Its not the stuff that happens to us, Its how we handle it!". I told her only positive thoughts right now. So I am praying for him right now to come out strong and ALIVE.
