life is to short
My thoughts are with you so sorry for what you are going through right now. Sorry about her father doing that. This is not the time to have to go through such things.

That's excellent that her vitals were good after her walk! Sending prayers that she will be able to go home tomorrow.
Love,

So happy to hear the promising update, dear Coffee!
Here's hoping for continued improvement, and that she gets to go home and recover fully soon.

Ali came home sunday. She is settled in fairly well. She is a little stronger each day, but has a challenge ahead. We will see how far this treatment can take her... the doctor is optimistic. She still has more fluid to lose, but it is coming off steadily. She is exploring the possibility of a heart transpland if this therapy doesn't work for her. She is a fighter.
Her heart is very enlarged, and on it's own is only pushing out at about 15%. The pacemaker will help, as well as medication and excercise over time to strenthen the heart muscle.
I still can't understand why this was not caught earlier... could have avoided this. before it got this bad. She has been under a drs care for over 4 years, goes to the dr at least every 3 months, She is diabetic and goes whenever she gets a cold. She has had symptoms, and was told she has asthma.. she doesn't. She was treated for panic attacks... when it was her heart all along. That dr just kept giving her meds...didn't look for the cause... She couldn't sleep...he just gave her sleeping pills. She was so exhausted she became depressed...more pills. craziness.
Anyway, I have to leave tomorrow... there is a support system in place... the best we can work out for the moment... She will get through this...
I am weary and worried... but I have done all I can do at the moment...

What a scary experience. I'm glad she's home and things are looking up. Ali's lucky to have a mom like you.

The Neo Fascist Century
"First humbled, then humiliated, as we went for another quantum leap toward racial equality and elected a former Muslim, Harvard radical, as President to lead a presumably Christian nation ("I'm a Christian"), and then watch him declare: it is Islam that has been marginalized in America, and that America was never intended to be a Christian Country... so instead of grasping on to the next evolutionary rung, we have slipped and fallen a giant step; we are scrambling as a culture to get our footing, lest we slide to the bottom of the pit. (The Black Americans are not better off and the Christians worldwide are being massacred by Islamic Terrorists.)
What prepossessed us to follow the endorsements of doddering fools on their last leg to elect a community organizer from the streets of Chicago and spurn the American Hero who spent five and half years of his life in the Hanoi Hilton paying the price for John Kennedy's sins and Lyndon Johnson's madness?
What did John McCain do that his own Vietnam War buddies turned against him? Did he not have his collarbones broken rather than be freed by the Vietcong ahead of his cellmates? Was it that he is Protestant and Obama is half Irish Catholic that the Catholics didn't vote for McCain? Was it that Sarah Palin is the mother of a child with Down syndrome, that she chose not to abort, that turned the leftists against her?
It can't be, right? So, how is that seven years after the Attacks of September 11, 2001, the American people turned against their two-term President George W. Bush and decided to go South? Was it the fear of Islamic conquest that drove them to renounce their God and turn into cowards? This too is far-fetched since Americans have no fear. If they don't fear God, surely they don't fear Ullah. Either way, the Muslims don't care; they are clamoring to build the Cordoba Mosque near Ground Zero to commemorate their victory in 2001, and equate it with their victories in Spain during the Middle Ages. America is at ground zero in more ways than one, but the American people don't want to believe their eyes. They have refused to build the Twin Towers back up again, not out of fear but because reality hasn't sunk in. We live in a virtual world anyway. Sodom and Gomorrah weren't rebuilt either; there is a reason."

Freydo,
I went through the scanner before the flight to Florida. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. I don't agree with it... but getting to my sick daughter over ruled any objections I had. There was no scanner or pat down on my return trip.
I am home now...went back to work today. I have talked to Ali several times today... she is in good spirits...at least as good as can be expected.

Be scared people. Be very scared. This is not for your protection. It is to take away your liberty.
