Since our trip in last Tuesday, Kourtney's anxiety has increased to the point she can't stop crying. On Saturday night we sat in Abbotsford Emerg for 3 hours and eventually talked to a crisis counsellor. She is taking Ativan to settle her down but it is snowing her so much that she finds it hard to get out of bed in the morning.
As difficult as it is to see her like this . . . it is actually Kourtney's brain trying to process all she has been through. We are hoping to see a pshychiatrist at Children's tomorrow (thanks to the pulling of strings of the plastic surgeon). Her skin is getting better daily but yet we are still stuggling with anxiety issues.
Todd and I both are working as a team in dealing with her. When I am weak, he is strong and vice versa. Tonight was a brutal night with the bedtime routine.
As silly as this sounds, I believe that this part of the grieving process is a step in the right direction to her recovery.
Pray for continued patience for our family.

You are right Janelle and Todd it is part of the process --hang in there. It will get better. We are praying for you--let us know if we can do anything.
Hey janelle, Im sorry to hear about kourtney. would it help if she talked to me about some stuff? It may help a bit to relieve the anxiety some. Ive been down the same ugly path, so if she needs someone to vent to who really can say that she understands what she is feeling, you know how to get me. Im always here.
Praying for you all!
