Still working on all this, documenting every single phone contact, double checking with folks, and standing my ground as I feel all y'all's emotional strength and prayers going out for us.
Dr. Mandy explained the danger to the hospital staff who called me back and inexplicably told me that my county was filing abandonment charges against me at the moment.
I nearly threw up in the bushes. I'd been talking on the cell phone outside to keep my other children from worrying.
I called the DFACS Supervisor's cell number who told me that was certainly not the case. That she'd told the hospital that they will not pick up Pepe and they've advised me not to do so either.
Dr. G stepped up to the plate and hit a long ball. He called the hospital and had words with someone in charge and the discharge orders were rescinded. I was floored! Exclamation mark required, no demanded here.
"It was the right thing to do," he very modestly told me as I gushed my gratitude.
We've bought some time.
Prayer works.
I just hung up with the director of the adoption agency I've always used, she's advising me to keep records of everything as I always seem to have to be forced into proving something.

I'm glad things are looking up a little. Continuing to pray.
I am so glad you posted this evening. I have been terribly worried for you today.
Stay outside this weekend as much as possible enjoying the spring weather and I pray this reprieve will bring about some better options for your family's peace and safety.
Buying a little time is what counts right now, one step at a time to keep everyone safe.....and continuing to pray for everyone!!
I just noticed the two more on the way bit under your profile! Awesome! Congratulations. Who's expecting?
Angela :-)
Cindy,
You have done the right thing for years, that is why people are stepping up to help you out. You have been a source of strength and beacon of hope for all of your children and to those around you. I do believe that what comes around, goes around and you have given a lot, so you too should receive a lot.
My prayers continue to be with you,
CC
Ok...that's better ! See I told you that they try to use that old Abandonment line to scare you. Shhh...I know it does but we are all learning not to fear it. Now I just say...Go for it , let me know how it works out for you. Been There Done That and it no longer frightens me. In a few weeks I'll be going through the same as you once again.
This is great news Cindy. Will continue to remember you in prayer.
At 6:00 last night I was explaining to my children before we prayed what was going on in your family with you and Pepe. Of course no one could understand because when Thoms was that out of control, the hospital kept him, no questions asked. Even Thomas kept saying ,"What are they thinking?" We prayed for you, each of my children in turn. My husband as well, and then we went to church where we turned in a family prayer request for prayer for your family as well. It seems that prayers from all over the US have brought you some respite. Thank God!
