You Are Greatly Appreciated
Mokey~
Thank you so much for the comforting encouragement words in my time of need....I got my daughter understanding a lot more along with the MD's help on my side that she had seen in the hospital during the assessment. I had a meeting with the school principle,counselors this morning and I have their help as well....She decided on her own to go to class today instead of the meeting with school and family....we all agreed she is outpatient and we are going to counseling on top of my apts I had already made for her....
I know this age is not a walk in the park trying to find out her place and who she is in such a non civilized world.It has been a rocky road for both of us and we are going to make it threw both of our sicknesses together. I am very thankful for my life and this challenge just made me even stronger.
~I think this day has been the breaking point of the best day in my life in the past year and months....I feel more humble today then EVER and less PCS symptoms since the accident occurred!!!!!I think it all goes down to inner peace that the Higher Power has blessed me. With this last 48hrs I went threw a dark tunnel and came out in the bright sun light. *****I am a true believer that the Higher power will not put you threw more then you can handle*****  
~I decided yesterday PCS was done taking my soul and to never look back and always look ahead~If it does not kill us it makes use stronger and brighter than a fire cracker~

Kids need to know we are there for them and sometimes they don't show that they need us, or are really scared inside if something happens to us.
It is so important that you have this knowledge about your daughter. Baby steps....a good mantra for those of us trying to heal brain injuries, and most certainly a very important mantra as your daughter is trying to heal her own emotional wounds.
Just as an aside...I don't know if you daughter has an 'on-line' life, but if she does, I would absolutely be involved in it, and see what is happening to her there. Facebook, texting, etc. are all very dangerous places for teenagers. Given her current fragility, I would protect her from the online world at all costs.
Best wishes for healing. Hang in there. This is a nightmare for you. No question about it.
