Legal Question in Family Law in New York

My fiance and i have been together for 3 years. In that time, we have lived a very balanced and happy life. One day, because of work stress or whatever his reasons, my fiance snapped. He hurt my son physically (not enough to hospitalize but enough to scare and hurt both he and I) and threatened me severely. I called the police and I went and got an order of protection and pressed charges for assult on my son. I realize that he is not a danger to me as he has not been taking the medication he needs for his mood disorder and if he had been that morning would have never happened. I want him home. I know through friends and family that he has begun (on his own) to take his medication again and that he is being closely monitered by his doctor for any change in behavior over the next 6 months. He has also enrolled himself into counseling to help with the medication.
But because I filed a protective order no one will hear me when i say i want the protective order dropped because he is seeking and getting help by himself. He is a very intellegent man who just thought he had a tight grasp on his emotions when obviously he didn't, and is taking measures to see to it that this never happens again.
Please, tell me what to do so i can get this dropped. We cannot work through our problems and continue to be a family when we aren't allowed to talk to eachother. This is the first time this has happened in our 3 years, and we want to make it work with counseling and therapy.
But we can't do that with the order of protection in the way.
