I just want to emphasize from my own standpoint anyway, there's many a times when you just want to talk to someone, you don't care who it is...to be able to perhaps laugh and share happy stories can be quite uplifting on those days when we've had bad pain, or are stressing of an upcoming procedure or exam. I'm just an ordinary ol' member here, but I urge everyone to come in and say hi. And don't be afraid to sit there for 5 mins or so alone, if someone else comes online and sees that there's a number beside the word "CHAT ROOMS" they might come in and join you!!
God Be With You,

I just need someone to talk to I think. I have a granddaughter that wants me to raise her daughter Natalie. Natalie was born having a aurisum on the brain and Natalie had seizures for weeks. My granddaughter has reach the end of her patience. She has other children that the sick daughter's bipolar type episodes effect terribly. Natalie is the oldest at 5 yrs.and has a very bad speech problem and a cognitive response problem. Has seizures if she is put under stress. Natalie's pre school last year stressed her until she was having several episodes every day. And she had seizures that the teachers didn't even recognize as seizures.
Natalie loves to learn was a top student in her pre K class even though she never went very often. It took Natalie 3 weeks to learn her ADC's count to ten a write her name. But at the same time she has not mastered the word no!!. That is where her cognitive response problem is. She knows No means stop. But it want take her to the point of what she was doing physically with what she was doing mentally. She sees a Neuro Psychologist that the Doctor that treats brain injury caused cognitive, emotional stress issues. She goes to the the Markus Institute in Atlanta. And Peach Care is refusing to pay for her treatment. They don't pay for speech therapy. Does anyone know if I adopted Natalie so I could get her on Medicaid would I also be able to leave her with my social security surviver benefits. This child is very high maintenance.
