This post is about our friend Steve. We have a son Steve, and a son-in-law Steve. Lots of Steve's to love in this family. It's almost as bad as our Mike's.
We had a nice visit with Steve on our way home from Phoenix a few weeks ago. He has been so sick, it breaks my heart to see him down.
He was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder a few years ago, and it took an entire year to get him regulated and on the medicine his body needed.
Then the depression started again. He is thanking his Heavenly Father because this episode only lasted 6 months. Can you imagine? I was so shocked when he told me that! I said, "six months.!" And his reply was quicker the second time, "Yes! It was a year last time!"
He has lost a lot of weight and looks too thin to me. He isn't eating very much. Part of the reason is when they put him on the medicine that made him feel well, it also put 20 pounds on him. The weight came off during the depression period, and he doesn't want to gain it back.
