[My] Life in Wisconsin

Caution: Moral and Political

Good morning...

First of all to thank those of you who responded to my latest note about Casey, or to the blog yesterday, and have extended your thoughts and prayers, links, hearts and love to us too.

Casey had called the other night after reading that 'most' patients diagnosed with "Chronic Pancreatitis" do not live past the seven year mark... *Sweet Pea, I too have been unable to find this same information with my own searches, (and yours); but no mind to that, I have a scared young woman on my hands. (As if she hasn't been scared enough before)... All of your thoughts and prayers WILL help her through that all; size not withstanding, this girl is a formidable opponent when angry.

We all love Casey. What's NOT to love?

There are but less than half a handful of people that have conveyed that not to be true... But again, I only ask those same people, (two exactly) that have said the most heinous and untrue things to/about her to WALK A MILE IN HER MOCCASINS. (Just one).

...To say anything, or to do something with ONLY the intention of causing pain and/or suffering is so truly despicable. And especially now, isn't it?

Mama always said "If you can't be right, be wrong at the top of your voice."

I intend to do just that. And to do it right now.

In the above referenced note that I had sent out to a select few, I had closed with these two paragraphs:

"I can only hope and pray that during the next 7 years SOMEONE is going to come up with SOMETHING.. SOMEHOW... and SOMEWHERE.

...And next year will be the year to get RID of the narrow mindedness in DC and vote for anyone that does not wish to stop stem cell research for any reason
."

.

"Disease and disorders with no therapies or at best, partially effective ones, are the lure of the pursuit of stem cell research. 'There are examples of significant progress that is a prologue to an era of medical discovery of cell-based therapies that will one day restore function to those whose lives are now challenged every day — but perhaps in the future, no longer."

For anybody that might think that KC~Face will be taking this lying down, you have another 'think' coming. Where she said she could not ever inject herself, she has already done so...

And while we do not know what the future will bring to any of us, we do know that she will continue to fight this 'beast of a pancreas' she seems to have!

Like I said, "a FORMIDABLE opponent!"

I already know I am going to 'lose' a friend or two on my list for what follows, so please just be straight with me about this, and let me know.

Opponents... I have always hated the Roe v Wade decision, and have always been 'against' abortion; and most especially as a birth control measure. To me, this only constitutes irresponsibility to begin with. But how I feel about that is neither here nor there.

The facts are thus...

  • Abortion IS legal, I believe in all 50 states to some degree.
  • The 'product' of the abortion is generally destroyed, simply as medical waste.

Why?

To me, this is the largest waste of medical (and 'miracle') possibilities, not only for my daughter, but FOR US ALL. That these babies might be able to somehow provide life for some other child, some other person that has suffered so very greatly during their life, only to have an uncertain future; is an awesome thought.

I am no scientist, but I am a mother of an ill child. I will need to do much internet research and find the possibilities within that all. I already know the potential exists to sustain GOOD/REAL "life" for many people... And seemingly Washington has curtailed these efforts. (I am left to wonder if that executive order would have been the very same if GW had a loved one that is suffering)? Hmmm...

In closing for today, please do not be thumping your bibles or your morals in my direction.

I already believe that between God, The Great Spirit, (or whatever you deem Him to be), that I am a moral, decent and ethical person.

I need NO judgment calls on this issue, (and I truly thank you in advance for that).

What I do need is a government FOR the people...

What I do need are answers; and thus, a treatment and a cure.

And that is all Casey wants too.

Casey has a doctor appointment to get to, so we will be leaving shortly. Please forgive me if I do not get back on too quickly. And in advance to thank you for your thoughts, comments and hope.

Love, peace, health and happiness to all.

XOXO
Anne
