COMPLETE INFO ABOUT KAIT

Post by barbaranoela »

Lynn called us this morning and I will list all that has occured--
1. No ICP available?? AND still none???? BS!!!!
2. Harter operates and clips the shunt-open---which then oozes fluid--showing that it had been CLOGGED/CRIMPED??---Harter then !!SEWS!!! the shunt together!!!!!!
3. Harter to Lynn-----TAKE Kait *HOME*--call me in a week and* IF we have the ICP monitor*,U bring Kait back and I will do the ICP procedure!!!
4.KAIT to HARTER ---*NO WAY AM I GOING HOME---I am in worse pain and I am staying!!!
5.Harter---to Lynn---this is it---I cannot re-arrange the shunt and this will be her life~~~

Can anyone believe this issues of NO ICP probes AVAILABLE!!!
Can U believe that he would snip open the shunt and then sew it together
Can U believe that he tells them--this is her life--PAIN--that she cannot bear---
Can U believe that Lou thinks he is a *good* neuro??? I hated him since the very first~~~~~~

Can U believe how I hate this man!!! I never thought I could hate someone so much~~~
Dead no----the loss of his hands--YES!!!
I went balistic after this phone call---and told Lou to *SHUT* up and I let it all out---more than :cry: --- I was screaming---
To repeat--this neuro---3 years back---DID NOT DO AS HE SAID !!NO---he let her go home saying she didnt need a shunt and U all know the rest!!

I wanted to call him--as a concerned grandmother but Lynn said no!!!

This is her life!!!! What life---no working--no driving--lying @ home in constant pain--no COLLEGE!!!

Now Lynn wants to take Kait to Barrow Neuro Institute in Phoenix(thats the doc she spoke to (in refernce to shunting)

Lou talked very calmly to her--
U have another daughter--
U have things to be concerned about---
U cannot just hop into Phoenix for a *hello-visit*
MacAfee(Ibelieve) will want U and Kait to stay so he can do some checking over and see what went wrong---
This isnt a days trip!!!
Money/job/house---

Needless to say---Lou said we will take out a loan for all this and she will do this the end of the June---

KRISTYN!!----I said to Lou---U cannot take Kristyns life from her!! She has a part time job(which she luves) she has a LIFE--
What do we do -keep her with us all time that Lynn might be away--this is not fair to her~~~ or do we move into Lynn's house(if she still has one) and take care of Kris???

I am numb~~~
I have no trust
I have no faith left
I dont believe----
I often wonder--*did we do something wrong* and this is punishment for us????

Yes, I know---*the WHY* is never answered/or we are never to know WHY!!
Well I cannot live this way----I have given up on everything--

Thank U all for the most precious times, that U have given me,when I was here----Friendships and caring as I have here is a thing I dont have anywhere~~~~

My freind Carmen(from the Pantano Christian Church)---came over this morning and took me for a walk and she talked and talked---she is wonderful and I told her---U can say all thats meaningful to U---but *sorry,Carmen---I have lost the bit of faith that I was gathering,@ their services,and if I am lost than I am lost!!

till later,
Barbara

I'm so sorry to hear all of this. It hurts my heart to hear what this poor girl is going through and all of her family too.
I can't even think of words of comfort, other than we are here for you and feeling as helpless as you to help. :cry: I'm crying with you.

Love - Momster

Not only does it hurt my heart that Kait is in trouble....it's really hurting my heart to hear how sad and hurt you are. Don't lose your faith Barb....I don't know everything, very little in fact, but I know how it is to lose your faith and there are things we haven't got answers to now, may have later. Please don't give up Barb. I will pray for you and yours. It leaves a hole in you. We love you here Barb........Love Oma
May I be more compassionate and loving than yeterday*and be able to spot the idiots in advance

Oma said it so well, Barb.

I love you and and I hurt for you and Kait and the whole family. It's so hard to know what is the best thing to do sometimes. I will be praying that all of you find the answers.

Love, Shirley

I don't know what to say to comfort you Barb but I know that we are not sent more troubles than we can bear. You will be strong because you have to be for Kait's sake. You have more strength in you than you realise. You & Lou have been there for Kait & Lynn & Kris all the way through Kait's illness & I know that you won't give up. No matter what happens, Kait needs you more than ever now. I understand how you must feel about that doctor but your hate for him will not help Kait, it will only make your & Lou's health problems worse. Doing something positive could help, maybe looking into having his treatment of Kait examined by medical authorities. You are so fortunate to have your friend Carmen with you when you need someone so badly. She will help you get through this. Wish I could be with you to share your pain.

Love

Dearest Barbara,

What can one say at a time like this?
This is an unbelievable situation and it is not fair that Kait is losing her teenage years to a miserable and inept doc. I don't know him but what else can I assume.

You must keep the faith Barbara since you are really the one holding this family together. NO LOANS - Lynn has to do it herself. Let her find a charity to help or someone as a benefactor. That is her job as a mother.

Sorry I am just so pissed at this situation and I wish I was there with you to comfort both you and Lou.

Love, Maggie
