NFT: Prayer Request for my daughter - Page 6

**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.

With my children (along with my wife) being my world and reason for existence my heart goes out to you in this time of need. Like others have said before me, one can never imagine how much you are going thru. Please be comforted by the fact that you have many thoughts and prayers going out for you and your family.

Please also know that we wish you godspeed, stay strong, and stay safe. A heartfelt thank you and my deepest admiration for your service to your country, especially during this time of personal crisis.

Prayers and blessings to you, your daughter, and your family.

I am so sorry to read this. My prayers are with you and your family. My prayer is that God will reach down and lay a hand on her so that all will be OK and return her memory.

Thank you for serving our Country and making sure we are safe! I pray that God and His angels are around you even when times hit that you don't think you feel His presence. Keep us posted.....

Thank you all again.
New Update: Discharge from the hospital without any large gain in memory. She is starting to recall very few small things at times and more of them. Things like "Grandpa drinks coffee", she used to live in Texas, and a few other various things. Small, but large at the same time.

milkman · 04-08-2005, 08:32 PM

Every step forward is a good thing.

Glad to hear that she has remembered some little things.
I'll keep sending my thoughts her way.

I want to know why you haven't been granted an emergency leave. My sons best friend flew in last night from overseas....his grandma is not gonna last the week. It's none of my business....but why haven't they let you come home?

And I am happy to hear she is home and slowly getting her memory back.

CHIEF4EVER · 04-10-2005, 12:11 PM

Done and done. May GOD bless her.
