Hey everyone,
Sorry I have not written an update on my brother in a few days. We finally have his medical card, and I feel like the new medication Apiprazole is helping him more then the Olanzapine was, he was very calm today he did still say he heard the voices but said they didn't talk as much and we're not as loud, oh God please let this stuff work I miss my brother.... I just want him healthy and happy.
Tomorrow I'm going to call Med Transport and see about scheduling rides, we go to the clinic on Thursday for his appointment and I'm hoping we can get him started at a outpatient, we really want inpatient but we're trying to do what he wants first and he's still really against inpatient so we will get med transport and try out daily outpatient.
But if things get back again, or he ever is a danger to himself we will get him inpatient... I really don't want to force him, but we have to put our safety first.
Continued prayers I feel like there has been a slight improvement...

Yes it's a last resort but if we need it it's absolutely a option

Thanks for the update. I hope and pray the new medication continues to work and that your brother is willing to get help even if it's outpatient right now.
