Wheels Turning

After many months of nothing, it does feel like wheels are beginning to roll a bit regarding Peter. Destination is still unknown yet here is a little bit of what has been happening.

From Christmas through last Friday,  Peter called me daily and talk for fifteen minutes (the alloted time.)  On last Wednesday's call he was pretty agitated, saying he was never gonna get out of jail and they couldn't keep him there. In conversations on Thursday and Friday he was a lot calmer. He did ask me In both of those conversations, if he could live with me again.  I have not heard from him since last Friday. I'm not sure if it is because I continued to say no to him living with me ir because I told him that I unintentionally added money to his ipad account. Maybe he just doesn't need the diversions of my phone call or maybe he figures. there's no need to talk to me if I won't let him live with me. I have emailed him with no response. I'm okay with it.

I did receive a call today from Mary Donna, a nurse who works with Avita community partners. Peters actually been one of their ACT Team clients since July. He wasn't very cooperative and then has spent most of the time since in jai She is working on the what is next for Peter when he is released. Although  their resources are limited, I feel like they have much more knowledge of resources than I do As well as connections needed. I'm so grateful to have folks working on Peter's behalf. 

There are still many unknowns. One option requires a lot more money than Peter's social security income. I am inquiring of sources  for grants or support for this one group home should it become an option?. Mary Donna told me there was another option that might be possible but she did not give me specifics I think so that I wouldn't get my hopes up. My conversation with her today did give me a little bit of hope, mostly relief that it wasn't all up to me to figure it out. Thank you for continuing to pray that God would clearly open the place for Peter to land when he is released. And with that, he would receive and accept the people support that he needs to stay on medication and make progress forward.  Please, also pray that he won't be released until something has been put in place. These ladies who have graciously been communicating with me, are trying to keep that from happening. But I'm told nonetheless it can. 

As always thank you.
