It was while I was here the last time that I left Peter in a very unstable state on my front porch. While I was gone he was arrested and taken to jail for a disorderly conduct misdemeanor. In truth he was taken there for his safety because of his severe instability. It has been five months and he is still incarcerated.
During today's events, I have had three conversations with Peter as well as one with my mental health contact at the jail. Peter has started taking medication again. His thinking is reasonable and we've had good conversations. He took the initiative to get his public defender's phone number from me and called him today. He said the PD was coming to see him next week. I know from my conversation with Jeannie, that they are now trying to get Peter set up with the group home if at all possible as soon as possible. There are quite a few pieces that need to fall into place.
I want to begin by expressing my gratitude to God for Peter resuming his medication. That indeed it is an answered prayer. I am grateful for the people that have been working on his behalf. I am also grateful for the many things I have been able to do during the last five months. It is possible that upon Peter's release to the group home (or wherever), I will need to be a bit more involved The repreave has been much enjoyed.
Thank you for continuing to pray that Peter can get good support moving forward. The group home in Warner Robbins seems to be the best option. I pray that if it is , that needed steps will happen in a timely manner. I am so grateful to know that I'm not alone in this journey as I advocate for peter before our Mighty and compassionate God. Thank you.
