Heading back to the hospital

So Star got home and I had to tell her what happened. At first she didn't believe then she started laughing. Next came the anger. She yelled and even hit me then the tears. Once she calmed down she decided she needed to pack a bag and take some things up to him at the hospital. So we're going to Uber to the hospital and see what the next steps for him is. I know he's going to be admitted to the hospital for at leave 92 hours or 4 days I'm not sure.

Grandma is spending the day with the kids lucky it was planned that way so Sissy won't be upset. Joel's ex is going to take the boys tonight because I'm sure Star will want to be with her Dad during this.

Now I have to figure out what to tell the kids. Do I tell them the truth. Do I sugar coat?

This is a lot and I'm not good at this stuff

You and Joel have to sit down with the kids and slowly and carefully explain to them what happened. Unfortunately, this is out of your hands. You need to let the professionals deal with this. The only thing you can do is be there for him and Star. 🙏✨

@Barefooter25 yeah he's like a n uncle to them. I think I'm going to reach out to their counselors and see what they suggest the best way to tell them. Because no matter what he's going to be in the house for a while and I have to explain something to them. They know he's not physically sick like our oldest boy or I was when we were in the hospital last year.
