Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 --Hi Sondra I am so sorry they wouldn't listen to you. To be held down must be awful. Poor you. I know when has her tempers and my husband had physically tried to hold her to stop her from harming herself, she has fought like a tiger, and is very very strong. Now when she has these tempers and hits herself, we stand back and talk to her, and I sing because she likes to hear me sing (only one who does!!) and don't intrude apart from giving her the medicine to try and calm her. Don't know if this is the right thing to do, but it seems at least not to make her worse. When we took to a hospital appointment, she went crazy as soon as we got inside the building. She looked absolutely terrified. So much noise and people rushing about. The hospital have agreed to come to the house to see her if they can, which is good. If you are still ill, you should try and get some help. Don't leave it too long and get worse. Easy for me to say I know. I do understand.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Sondra, as much as I would love to come to Grand Rapids, I wont be able too. Its about 3 hours from me. I have to work and also my car has not been running at its best. PennY will be there. I hope that you have a nice trip. As far as your other question about Kassi, she is doing well. Its been a few days since I have talked to her but last I knew she was OK. She is coming for a visit the first weekend in November. Abby is very excited.
