Personal Request
February 11th, 2008 by White Rose
I hate to bring to much of my personal business here, but I am in need to your supporting thoughts and prayers right now for my oldest son. He is former Army and an Iraq War Vet. He is going though some very trying times right now and if things go as I hope, will be admitted to the VA hospital tomorrow. I wont go into it all right now…. I simply can't. I just ask that you give what positive support and prayers that you can.
UPDATE
We made it through the night and are waiting form someone from the VA to come pick us up. I guess they don't want my bobtail down there or think I can't park it there. One thing I know for sure, I am going with him! I am in hopes that if they admit him I can take him back to Mississippi to the VA Hospital there to do it. At least he will have family around there. right now I just do not know.
I do have another request. Does anyone know what the policy's of the VA's Suicide hotline are? Why would they want you to wait 24 hours for someone to call you back? I am very angry at this! Just because you have friends around does not mean that nothing will happen!

No need to say more. My prayers are with you and your family. May God keep your son close during these trying times!
Lots of positive thoughts and prayers headed your sons way Cindi.
Cindy, You know I'm behind. Like I told you earlier, give him my number and if he needs someone to talk to, I'm here.
Prayers for you and your son. No further information is needed, just take care of yourself and your family.
My prayers are thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I said a prayer Cindy.
CJ, I believe you have done all that you can do. I had a chat with ONE who is intimately involved with this whole situation. By the way, this includes you, my friend. The ONE with whom I had a chat, HE'S been there and done that. There are no words to say. By the way, this "chat" is another word for prayer.
God Speed,

White Rose, my apologies, but he is still in my prayers.

If you run into this "24-Hour Issue" mentioned above, talk with either the Congressional or the Senator's Office in your son's or your own home State. Many of your elected official to both Houses of Congress have a specialist on Veteran's Affairs.
Wish you the VERY BEST!

We are adding our thoughts and prayers for you and your family, Cindy.
Cindy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son.
We spent the day at the VA in Temple. They are putting him on meds and he will be going back to Mississippi with me. Once there, we will get him to the VA in Biloxi to get his disability started. Even though I have dealt with my own PTSD, seeing my son go though it and how it is affecting his life, really tears me up. I guess I am fixing to find out all about the VA system. As my son goes through it, I will keep ya'll posted on how it goes.
Yes, please keep us posted, Cindy. We're all pulling for you and your son.
