Update On My Son Harry

Well, here goes!

The good news? My son is clean! My son is alive!

The bad news? He had his second DUI in January. The blood test showed that he had his anti-inflamatory in his system and with the suboxone and anti-depressant was too groggy to be driving. An officer had seen him cross the line on the highway and pulled him over. Because it's been less than 10 years since his 1st offense, we were told by two attorneys that the state mandates that he will have to do 90 days (possibly 45 in and 45 with an anklet if lucky) but it is in a different county than we live in so he would have to rent a room in that county...which would use a lot of any income he would be able to earn. He will also lose his license for at least 12 months....but they think 18.

My mind tells me...."Thank God he is alive!" I cannot be sad that he was pulled over and has to suffer these consequences because if he hadn't been pulled over, he might be dead, seriously injured, or he may have killed someone else. I am hoping this is a turning point for him. He has been struggling with relapses. I'm hoping this opens his eyes to what these horrible drugs take away from him.

But you know me people....at the same time my mind knows these things....my heart is breaking to think of him being in jail and not being able to hug him or see him or hear from him very often. I worry about his depression. I have to drive him for his sentencing. I hope God gives me some strength because I don't have it on my own! I cry just thinking about it!

He goes on Thursday. Please pray for us!

I've looked at some of the new posts and realize I am blessed that he is clean now. I will keep you in my prayers....as I always do even though I don't stop by very often.

God bless!

Love,
Susan

devangreb2,

I can't even begin to imagine how you must have felt not knowing where your son was or how he was. I'm glad you finally have some answers.

Sending a big hug to you.
