Hello everyone,

I want to first take this opportunity to thank EVERYONE who responded to my
recent plea for help relative to our 2 1/2 year old Foster Daughter whom we
are hoping to adopt.  To recap we removed drugs, dairy, sugar and gluten in
June ... and she has been getting these wonderful cocktails along with
organic baby food and whatever we could get down her.  She has been losing
weight and has recently become critical.  The last few weeks she has had
some type of reactions ... diarrhea and vomiting once followed by diarrhea
for a few days as well as not eating ... and gagging with her bottle.  I
have gotten some GREAT ideas and feedback from many of you ...

We are seeing her Doctor in the morning ... I'm ready to talk feeding tube
or IV ... and then Friday we are seeing a Gastrointerologist.  I have no
idea if this woman Gastro Dr. (yeah!) will be open to what we have done (she
is a referral from the State) ... we are all praying that she will be.

I am asking for two things here.  I need everyone - and I mean ALL OF YOU
almost 2000 members of the list now ... to PLEASE do whatever it is you do
... dig deep into your souls and send my angel prayers ... send her love and
light ... send her rainbows ... just please put her in your thoughts ... she
needs your love and support SO much - and I ask for the same for her parents
and us as her current guardians ...

The second is please search the recesses of your mind ... please forward to
me ASAP any suggestions you may have to pass along to the Gastrointerolist -
I am taking copies of all the suggestions you made recently so you do not
need to reinterate what you said before if you wrote me.  I feel if we can
all put our heads together that perhaps somehow we can figure this out.  Her
weight is dropping fast now ... we need a miracle and I'd like to have one
come from this most appropriate place ... from people who have "been there -
done that" ... and are the primary caregivers and lovers of our angels.

My heart is heavy asking you for your help.  I know we are on the right
track we just have to find the key.  Thank you so much for your help and
support ... I have saved all of your messages and will digest them as soon
as possible.  We have been in survival since last Friday ... the date of her
last "reaction" for lack of a better word.

In health,

Amy

And for those of you interested ... I have a picture of Angel that I would
be happy to share ... if you would like it ... she is a beautiful blonde
blue eyed miracle with wings on ... I use it for wallpaper on my computer!
If you would like a copy of it please reply to me and let me know if you
would like it in jpg, wpd or doc format ... :)

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOUR FOR YOUR SUPPORT.  I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT
MEANS ...:)
