Anne- I do hope that you get internet hooked up soon!

Jsmom- I booked hotel and rental car today so now I feel better since the question of what to do isn't hanging over my head. Of course I still don't know if I'm coming and I may have 2 1/2 months to wait until I do know. This, however, is nothing to complain about since at least there is a definite end to my wait.

Kathy- pretty positive she's on her meds since her psych has a standing order to commit her if she goes off. But she does still experience voices and paranoia even with her meds because of the severity of her case. If the clinical paranoia is shaping this, I'm not sure there's anyone who can do something about it. Her husband and her mother seem to hold the most influence over her. Hopefully, they are trying to assure her and not feeding whatever fear she has that's behind the ultimatum. Anyway...until Jan 9 we can hope.

TG- are you still walking on air?

Roni- any new Myspace excitement? have you started the new job yet?

HUGS HUGS to all the rest of you girls.

Well Heidi - I think it is great you are still coming east. He could at least visit with the sister, and I've got no problem showing you some of the best of the 'burgh if we get that far. It looks like Hunker is kind of close to one of my old favorite malls. Anyhow, if she says, "J - I didn't know you were coming/I didn't get to see you" or whatever, he can say - "well we told you those were our dates, it was your choice." He does not really need to go into if you are there or not; his support system is not so much her business. Which is not cruel to her either.

I love TGs pics. I knew she was a knock-out, but that baby - what a sweetie.

Tig - one day at a time. That's the only way through sometimes.

Happy Fall Leigh - Brown - Rock on - anyone else I missed.

Happy Halloween and Hump Day all.

Roni - where in the he double hockey sticks are you???????

Good morning, all!
Heidi, is it possible that she believes you're trying to control son and the situation rather than accompanying him to provide support? (The paranoia of her disease might find your presence threatening.) Can you talk with her husband or mother?

Good morning to everyone.

Kathy- I'm afraid any reaching out gesture I made would feel even more threatening. I don't know how to fight a disease.

The problem is that the bigger underlying conflict over this is making J unwilling to take anyone but me, and her willing to accept anyone but me.

I don't want to get into it here (I'll do it offline somewhere), because we are riding the good news train here!!! toot toot!!!

But thanks for caring and thank for all your support! You can all send prayers and good thoughts to PA!

Heidi, while I completely understand why you wouldn't want to go into person detail here, please don't ever let the reason you don't want to share be because you don't want to rain on our parade.

Good news is great, and it's awesome to have friends to celebrate with, but it's only THAT good because those same friends were around when things weren't so sunny.

You know you have our hugs and love
