NFT: Prayer Request for my daughter

**Old Dog** · 04-07-2005, 10:48 AM

I know few look at these and maybe even fewer care, but I figure it absolutely can't hurt so here goes:
My 16yo daughter, Casey (named for KC) is currently in Childrens Mercy in KC with some sort of amnesia and the doctors there have yet to figure out a cause or cure. She's normally an honors student, but as of now can't read the sentence "I can close my eyes" and follow those directions. The only person she recognizes is her mother and she doesn't even know her name other than "Mom". Other than that she recognizes only pictures of her dog, Dixie. When I called to speak to her yesterday (I'm currently in Iraq, as some may know) and my wife said that her Dad was on the phone for her, her response was "I have a Daddy?" When she took the phone, it was as though I was talking to her when she was a three year old. For the first time in a long time, I am absolutely terrified of teh unknown. I just want my baby well again and to be able to hear the brightness in her voice without being able to sense the fear in her voice.
Thank you for allowing me to vent in a forum that I realize might not be exactly the place for it.

Thats rough at home, let alone where you're at.

Absolutely.

You, your daughter and your entire family will be in my family's prayers... for many reasons. God can heal all.

Man, I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you're going through being away from home with that going on. You have our best wishes and our prayers. Get home safe,

Chi

Update: The CT,MRI,EEG and lab work have all come back normal, so the MD's are saying "tincture of time" for right now at least, may do a spinal tap and/or some other test in the AM.
Liz (aka Mom/wife) said she remembered her nurses name today. I know it may sound small, but it was music to my ears.

I can't possibly say how much your thoguhts and words mean. I am aware that a whole lot of folks do actually say words to these requests without posting. I have done so myself numerous times.
