tiredbraveheart, i am so very sorry.
your catie sounds like a heaven-sent gift to all she has touched.
even with everything she has battled, she has been blessed with such a sensitive, strong spirit.
may God wrap you both in His all-loving embrace.

I want to sincerely thank all of you. Catie continues to worsen. They are putting a rush on her dream trip. I should be hearing any day when we are going on the trip. She is so brave and strong. She really is my Hero. I don't say that lightly, I really mean it. When she was 5 Years Old, without using Lidocaine They spent 5 and a 1/2 hours trying to start a PIC line. She did not have to be held down. She knew that it had to be done. She cried until her eyes were swollen almost shut, and she had saturated her clothing and hair with sweat. She is amazing. But, she is tired now and I don't blame her.
I never used to use the internet. I used to get onto my Mom, telling her that those people could be anyone. They probably were not even who they said they were. I thank God daily that I changed my mind. You guys have really lifted me up. I am greatful all the time to have friends like you. You have been such a source of strength and encouragement. I have to be strong for everyone. This is the only place I have to fall apart. My Mom is one of those dramatic people that can't handle the really tough stuff, I have to be strong for Catie, and also for my son. So you guys are the only place I can go to let the tears fall and let out the fear and frustration. May God/the Great Spirit bless each and every one of you!
Please keep praying for Catie. I am growing more afraid everyday that she will crash before I can get her to AZ. Especially since I lost my job. I am looking for another job now. I have to make money to move my family to AZ. at least $2000, so that we can move everyone and survive until I get my first check. The nursing agency is ready to send me as a traveler to AZ. just as soon as I get the money together. There is one lady in town that is pretty good at fund raisers. I am going to call her and see if she will help organize one, even if it is just standing at the 4 way stop with cans. I hate to do it. I have always taken care of my own. Working 2 jobs or what ever I had to do. But with Catie sick and a baby, I can't work 2 jobs, shoot I am trying to get hired on at just one place. Thanks for lettingme vent.

She will definitely be in my prayers. I hope the best for you, your daughter and the rest of your family...and pray that God restores and give you all the comfort you need.

[Sabby_NC]

You also amaze me with your strength as well.
I pray that you are able to realize Catie's dream soon and see that big ol' smile on her face. She is a special child and one that has touched many a heart.
Hang in there my friend

[Suesquatch]

I pray to the Great Spirit, God, for healing and peace.

May your child know no pain. May your child cry no more. May your child have hope. May the love of God surround you both.

(Thanks for the right words, sirI.)

I pray that Wakan Tanka and the Tunkasilas send you and Catie the strength you both need to live in health and happiness.

I wanted to let all know, that Catie has been granted her dream.She is being sent to Florida to Disney Land. We will take off driving on the 18th of this month. She is excited. Our Dr. is out of town and does not come back until the 18th. So we will see him on the 18th at 0845 then hopefully fill Rx. for spasms and pain for at least Catie if not me also. I had a bad fall the other night and think that I may have broken my left elbow. I am praying that we will be able to find a way to get our adoption comleted on the same trip. She still is getting sicker every day. Her pain is quite severe now. She was in so much pain that i had to give her pain medication for her headache before she started feeling better and was able to get excited about the trip.
