Theresa and Art,
I have never posted before but felt really compelled to respond to this post after following all of Dreamer and diligently keeping a watch on Miranda. I am so sorry for what you having to deal with. This is a lot for one family to endure. Please know you are in my prayers.
I have a suggetion for you. If you have a natural foods store or a Whole foods or some other sort of retail place that you could get a natural product go get the Bach Flower Essence called Rescue Remedy. I carry Rescue Remedy with me at all times. It is safe for anyone and any animal. Here is some info on it. Whatever the situation – immediate or ongoing - Rescue® Remedy can help. Taken anytime, anywhere Rescue Remedy is totally natural and contains five of the 38 Bach ® Flower Essences: Rock Rose for terror and panic, Impatiens for irritation and impatience, Clematis for inattentiveness, Star of Bethlehem for shock and Cherry Plum for irrational thoughts. These combinations of Bach Flower Essences that is especially beneficial when you find yourself in traumatic situations, such as, stress, emergencies, after getting bad news, before an exam or job interview and all other kind of situations where we suddenly lose balance mentally. The Essences quickly get us back in our normal balance so that we calmly can deal with any situation. I work with a Homeopath and she always recommends this product first and foremost for a tragedy and any type of stressful situation. Look it up online for more information you will not be disappointed. I think it would be great for you and for Dreamer with all she has been through also. You can mix it with water or I use it straight. Just a suggestion. I wish you the best.
