son had surgery but have been manic

i finally was able to get some sleep today that was a blessing and well needed to ....... i dont feel so tired anymore and irrated at the world anymore like i was feeling anymore.

MG about your question about my sons diagnosed right now at this time. I basically know this that he is developementally disabled and he has a slight hearing loss in his ears too but he had tubes in his ears this week and his tonsils and adnoids taken out too..he will be tested in the fall soon to find out if he is autitic he has alot of the traits of autistism just by some of the sites i have been looking at and talking to my therapist too him about my son to.

he is really good at some things but doesnt seem to understand some things at all so i have been working with him the best i can

i also have the state involved in my life due to him getting out with out my knowledge a few times and taking off he doesnt know it is unsafe to do this no matter how much i try to tell him that it is not safe i have installed those plastic door knob things on the doors to his room he took it off the first nite i used it the next nite i had to go purchase more locks and put them up higher and we live in 24 hour lockdown at my home to keep him safe

the state thinks i am being neglectful but now since he has done this i am in constant state of worry and fear for him getting out of the house the next time could be him getting hit by a car and killed or someone kidnapping him or the state taking him .... so i am on constant watch of him even if i have to set an alarm clock to go check on him too so it is like this either stay up and nap when he does or sleep whenever i get the chance to

thanks it has been kind of hard on me but seeking the solution and working with the state to the best of my ability so i can keep my son at home and prove to them i am a fit and loving caring mom mistee
