For John, the weeks passed by slowly as he adjusted to his new medications and their effects on his system. Holding onto his goal of being home as soon as he had been stabilized, he worked hard in therapy with Mike. One day, however, his thoughts began to race, making no sense to him. Sitting in his bed, with his covers bunched in his hands, he felt his heart beginning to race as fast as his thoughts. Moaning softly, he dropped his covers and clutched his head in between his hands, rocking back and forth.

One of the day shift floor nurses opened his door, finding him trembling and rocking back and forth. She backed out and closed the door, locking it from the outside, then she walked as fast as she could to the nurse's station.

"Dr. Jackson? John Beiler's in a bad way. I was going to bring him to Mike Cedillo's office, but just left him in his room. Yes, he's secure," the nurse said softly.

Two minutes later, several nurses and Doctor Jackson entered John's room. He was standing at his window, trying to force the window open. As he looked around for something to smash the glass, the nurses grabbed his arms and forced him back to his bed, where he was strapped down by his arms and legs.

I'll be calling your parents to let them know," he said as he watched John's frantic, sweaty face smooth out and become relaxed.

"Home? Christmas?" John slurred.

"I'm sorry, John. There's no chance now," said the doctor sadly.

John slowly turned his head toward the opposite wall as tears leaked out of his closed eyes. Two minutes later, he had relaxed totally, falling asleep.

"Get Mike into my office, would you?" the doctor asked a nurse.

"I will. Should I call John's parents?"

"Yes, please."

Ten minutes later, Amos set the phone back into its cradle and sighed. Lord, I do not look forward to telling Rachel what just happened. Please, Lord, help John return to good health so he can return home and stay home. All he wants is to be home so he can resume living.

Buttoning his coat, he went back into the house.

"Rachel! Where are you? I have to... tell you something!" he said, raising his voice.

Rachel was upstairs, cleaning for that week's Sunday service, which would be held at their house. Hearing Amos' voice, she set her cloth down and dried her hands, then hurried down. Seeing Amos'
