Entry for May 17, 2006

GOOD Morning;

   I was sent this picture from one of my adoptive parents- showing how very happy their "Sadie" is.  Also received was a photo of the new little one playing with their 5-year old dog.  Sadie finally to have won the heart of the older dog; and to have made a new lifelong friend!

   Yesterdays visit with Casey proved to be very sad for me- having been given no definitive diagnosis, and seeing her in so much pain.  She was given an injection for her pain about 3, and so I left her to sleep, and came back to the room here to rest a bit.  I called her room about 5, and she sounded so groggy still.  By 6, she called to tell me that the doctor had been in; and had told her she could be released!  (It even surprised her wonderful nurse, Marcy).

   Casey is fast asleep yet- and hopefully will tolerate a trip across the road to get a bit of breakfast when she awakes.   One doctor said "low fat" diet- Another said it didn't make a difference.  Who to believe when the doctors at the same hospital will not even agree on a diagnosis; let alone the doctors from St Marys in GB and the ones here at Froedtert?    

   We will remain here until Caseys  Sweat Test tomorrow morning.  I do not think that requires too much, and so we will be heading home right after that.  Hopefully we will know something after that.  But watch, it will perhaps come back as inconclusive- that is my greatest fear- and then she will be left to be in pain- or what then?  I do not know.  Keep the faith...

   Zoe called as I was leaving to pick Casey up- And I told her that Casey was being released. She said "Wonderful!"   We spoke to Jenne and Roberta too- who echoed Zoe's sentiments almost exactly!  They are all as worried about this whole thing as I am. Nice that Casey has her older sisters to love, and to love her too!  I am so proud of all of these girls!  A friend of the faily had called yesterday morning, and had asked how all the girls were, and what they were all doing etc etc etc...  Such a nice conversation. 

  Makes you thankful for everyone! 

   David is a friend of my ex-husbands- And since Casey has asked him not tell her dad what is going on, he will not.  She has been trying to get her dads attention and love for the past 17 years- (as all these girls have been doing since we split up in 1989)- and it is sad for everyone that he then opted to divorce his entire family.  Sadder for him most of all because his life has to be SO empty and devoid of any kind of love.   I almost pity his godless soul.

   Not too much other news- Please write and let us know how you are all doing!

   Thank you again for all of your  prayers!  God IS listening!

   XOXO
Anne
