Take this weekend to rest and refresh if you can. No doubt you're ragged with worry and stress but all the time-outs you all can manage to take will be helpful as stress and shock are draining. Just know you aren't alone - many have walked same path you all are walking with your son now and somehow, some way, they've made it forward, many with stunning successes. Many are praying for you and your dear son and our faith sustains, strengthens and imbues us with true courage for the hardest of times but that doesn't always happen immediately. Anytime you feel you are growing weak or don't know what to do next, remember all the prayers going up for you all and stretch out your hand and call on someone you trust and ask for some assistance in how to help your son or yourselves where you are. Don't try to handle alone what you can't yet manage. In time, you'll all be far stronger and surer in how things are going to work but for now, just help son take it step at a time and take all the breaks any of you needs. Hold tight to your faith and know that you will all find your way forward in this and one day even know happiness and joy again, for God knows how to help a suffering son.
Have a blessed Easter Sunday.
