FHN, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers....I'm sorry about your father!! Sheesh girl....you've got too much on your plate right now. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Take some time for yourself...even if it's just a few minutes...and know that we are pulling for you.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((( FHN )))))))))))))))))))))))) Love Delilah
I keep checking on this thread. . .my heart is breaking for all of you. So glad that Andy seems to be back with you, but to lose the little guy! The entire thing is insane. We care about you all! Stay strong-it sounds like you will need to gather all your personal resources and just fight like hell to keep balance. I will you only good things.

This is from a thread I started on Monday.

Hello again everyone.
It's a new month coming, and I would like to encourage folks who CAN and feel personally lead to, to give some special financial assistance to FHN. Yes, there are always bills to be paid... And she needs a hand up for a few weeks longer (remember, this is not a long-term need).
It is hoped that FHN can be tided over, esp. to sufficiently prove to CPS that they do not need to worry about Julian, the older grandson in her care. And that FHN can use the time away from work to work out all the issues/appointments/paperwork she is facing, and not lose her job during the process.
There is a lot of grief because Mickey has been removed, and a lot of anxiety about losing Julian. Balancing that information is the relief that now FHN is getting food assistance through Angel Food Ministries, has been getting a great deal of support from her church which will hopefully influence CPS's decisions about Julian, and that she is hoping to ease back into work this month. Also, Andy is doing better in many ways, and that helps a great deal emotionally.
She was able to pay all her bills last month, thanks to the combined effort of many terrific people from this board. She is trying to be responsible in her decisions. Please pm me for FHN's contact info if you would like to send her a card--esp a card with a bit of cash, that can help her get through this next month. You can also pm me for FHN's email address if you would like to send a gift via Paypal.
Thanks in advance.

Oh hun your dealing with so much at the moment, wish I was there to help.
i think about you all the time

Today, all I have been able to do is take it easy. The home health nurse visited Andy and told me it's normal to need to rest when you have so much grief and stress. She hugged me. I gathered up enough muster to get some ice water and a mug of cranberry juice and to check my mail here. Now, I think I must rest some more and read some inspirational stories in a book I got from the library.
Our car insurance company is being stubborn. That was one more bit of stress this morning.
Dad had surgery for either his hip or the aneurism last night and is in ICU. I know he has to go a different hospital to have surgery on the aorta, if they think he can survive it. His wife says he cannot receive phone calls while in ICU.
Today has been a little better. I did get to talk to Daddy. He souded much better than I dreamt he would. I am not sure whether he will have surgery for his aorta or not. He got through the one for his hip, so far. I will call him each day if I can.
I am reeling from all the changes we've been through and will go through. It's a lot to think about. Unfortunate events like what has happened to Andy can sure shake up and completely change lives.
I want to thank all of you again so much for all of your love, kind words, PMs, cards and gifts. They do help give me strength to carry on. You can't know how important you are in my ability to cope with all of this.
Thank you, PEC for calling and checking on us yesterday. Thank you, Rabbit for the supportive phone call today. It was just what I needed. I got an e-mail from a former forum member today, the Queen of Franistan, very funny and encouraging. I love all of you. You have no idea how much. Thank you all of you, those who have posted and those who just read and check up.
FHN, I'm sorry I didn't get to mention anything about your Dad's health problems. I am truly sorry to hear that, also. I'm happy to hear he is doing somewhat better, and I hope he continues to improve each day.
