Rio~
Thank you so much as a mother with PCS for understanding me and my family from afar....I needed the comforting encouragment words for my daughter and I....
I woke up this morning and did not want to have to face any of the thoughts of what this day would bring....I had read the responses and the support gave me the push to take control of life. With the help of understanding genuine people I had to tackle this mountain today....I did it and I feel like my daughter and I are blessed with the higher power!!! Being threw hell and back I refuse to lose the bond of my number one priority and purpose to fight these battles. We are going to fight our sicknesses together and come out stronger then the average. I thank you greatly more then words can explain

Although it is very minor compared to what you're going through, I can't help but parallel it to my past week dealing with my boys concussion during my own PCS symptoms.
Not in severity or anything, but in how our children need us no matter what else is going on, and its never easy timing. But nature is so amazing, it provides us with strength from somewhere! I never thought I could care for my son the way he would need during his concussion and I did it. It reminded me of my higher calling, my true purpose here on earth. It helped us both, to connect. You can do this.
Trust your motherly instinct, protect your girl with all your might, and care for yourself too. By caring for both of you, you show her and model for her what it looks like to love yourself. It's not uncommon for girls to feel very lost and alone at her age, which is why an identity with her family is crucial. She has to feel important and validated right now. That doesn't mean everything else you're going through isn't important. Not at all.
It just means that priority one, is her. Priority two, three, four can be focused on as the crisis allows.
Crisis counselling- that's what I'd suggest first, but I'm no professional. I just relate as a mama and that's what my instinct is telling me.
Big big hugs, mom to mom. This must be heart breaking, but more is found than what is lost. What you find, you can work to fix.
