Dear Diary,

been crying a lot today; cause of reading that damn MRI report; nothing like a big dose of reality to bring you down. I don't need to know how bad Nadene's injury is - it doesn't make a difference and i won't give up hope anyway! But, i was hoping that the MRI report wouldn't be so dismal...maybe I just don't know enough big words to know what they mean ? N E Way, the stem cell treatment can't hurt, and I think it's the only thing left to try. So, we will, if we can get over the passport hurdle and the money hurdle and the actual traveling on a plane with a 25 year old wearing a diaper who throws up if she needs to poop and can't be changed. It may be a bad trip, but it's only 10 hours or so, anyone can get over that. Maybe I'll just make it her night and feed her her meals the night before and then when we get there. She can have two 4 or 5 meal days and only water when we travel? Just praying that we get to that point. To get legal guardianship adds another $1200 to the cost of the whole thing. guess I need to make some calls tomorrow; praying the passport agency calls soon. guess a lot of people are traveling now.

Please, God, help us be strong and courageous and take what comes, knowing that you are with us - and if you are with us, who can be against us?
