Nurses Reports 3/6 and 3/7

Post from an email to family to update from Sun & Monday -
Please understand that I am trying to keep this email to facts at this time.  I cannot even begin to input my emotions right now or my fears.  If I am to get thru this email then I have to just write facts...so don't misread that I am unemotional, that is FAR FAR FAR from the truth.

Sunday about 10:30 I talked to Kameron's nurse.  She explained that he was still very confused and more aggetated this night than the night before.  He didnt want to take his meds but she was finally able to have him take them he is very dillusional still and talking about suicide.  She said he knows how he wants to do it and can describe in detail the way he would.  She also said that he had made attempts to leave that morning.  I asked if this is subsiding at all and she said no - the night before was a little better but overall no change I asked her what they seem to think this is and she said she could not diagnois but that it appears a lot like schizophrenia.  (I have read about marijuanas link to schizophrenia and one nurse said this is more common in people in their 20's).  She did say that Kam was admitted into the inpatient facility on Friday evening - so has only seen on call doctors and has not participated in in daily psych or groups yet.  She said that his doctor would return on Monday and that he will spend a lot of time with him initially to get familiar with Kameron and his care, needs, behavior.  She also said he would be in groups and have more structured 'care' at this point.  I asked if the doc would consider altering medications since there is no change and she said she would assume he would.
MONDAY
This morning I talked to nurse Mimi - Mimi wasn't as helpful but did tell me that he is very aggetated and threatening again today.  She said he is just not redirectable and had to be given a shot to calm him.  The Doctor had the chart at that time so that is all the information she had available.  More as I know it.
Please continue to pray...over and over and over and over and over again.
