dearest Sherry
I am so sorry about your family. This is a horrfic situation even for the strongest of people. Please feel a part of the family here for prayers and support.

I wanted to add also to contact NAMI. They have a lot of information and lawyers available. I know they can not keep a blind persons dog from entering and there should be equal consideration for your disability. At a NAMI conference I got to meet a few folks with service dogs so I hope they can help you.

National association for mental illness or something similar. I think the were changing the title to be friendlier sounding.

Another would be the local county or representatives office you are at. Look in the phone book for their support offices. Also a legal Aide in the area.
I would even try Sarah palins office!!!
Know our thoughts are with you...
