I feel that we just haven't gotten to the bottom of things yet. He really is loved so much.

A friend suggested that he might benefit from Suboxone, so I'm going to mention it to my son (grandson's dad) tomorrow. Her brother is on it, and will be for the rest of his life. He's doing well.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I'm anxiously waiting for a report tomorrow on how things went today.
