Teresa,

I'm so sorry to hear that your MG is advancing. Have you seen your neuro lately? I can't remember what meds you take now, but maybe there are some adjustments that could be made that would help a bit. I sure hope that for you.

I totally understand your need to vent - major adjustments are never easy...and sudden ones even less so. We all have our moments (be they days or weeks) of intense frustration - - and maybe even depression. And I readily admit to being one of the worst when it comes to playing Pollyanna's 'glad game' with MG!

RE: your kids and Sarah's situation:
I am a firm believer in all things happen for a reason - -though we may not recognize (or appreciate) it at the moment. Perhaps this is my naive way of rationalizing (or abdicating) that which I can not control; but I don't think so. Maybe this is Sarah's notice that she needs to step it up a bit. It's her room and her responsibility to get it together - just as it is her education and her life to manage. Actions beget reactions and with both come consequences - - as most adults know, but only through their experiences.

I do hope you feel less despair in the coming days and weeks. Please let us know how you are feeling as you are able.
