11:00 P.M. Sorry this is a week late but just was not sure what to say, so many things this last week, it has been really hard. Not for sure were I left off last week, but we had our meeting and they had advised that Stacey needs more than what Ranken can offer with her behavior the way it is that she needs a facility that that can deal with all her so called behavior problems. Not sure what everyone expects they all say there are all set up for people with TBI but they really aren't we have only one facility here in Missouri that will take her, we even tried Illinois but they said we have enough of TBI units here in Missouri so they declined her. Stacey will be going back to MRC in Mount Vernon this is were she was before, I know this place will do all they can for her just like they did last time, I just will not be able to go, I will be lucky to get to see her once a month, I think that is what is really killing me the most, I don't want to let her go, but if I don't then she will not get the rehab she needs, I've tried and I can not find any facility that is out there that can continue with her and her rehab., I am really hoping they get her back on her feet and herself soon, but I know not to get my hopes up. They said as long as she continues to do what she is doing at Ranken that she will be able to stay until they get all her goals accomplished, but I don't know how long that will be. I have tried and begged everyone and there is no one closer, I just don't know if I can do this or not. But I keep telling myself that I can't be selfish I have to what is best for her, but I have been by her side pretty well all these nine months, the last six has been hard, but I wouldn't trade for the world, and I just don't know how strong I will be when she's gone, because she has been the one holding me together. But I will update again soon to let everyone know when she leaves. Please say extra prayers for me that this will be a easy transition for me, and this will be a successful trip for her this time. Thank you and God Bless.

You don't know me but I am aware of the situation and have kept up with your blogs. Please know that even though you don't know alot of us personally, we have been keeping you and Stacey in our thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine what you all have had to go through, no one can fully understand. But I can see that you are doing everything humanly possible to help your daughter, and you need to know that and not be too hard on yourself if things aren't going as quickly as you hoped. It is so hard as moms, we just want to make everything "all better" and it must be so hard to realize that some things are out of our hands. But you have been doing and are doing a fantastic job and I am sure Stacey knows it also and how much you love her. Hang in there and let family and friends help you, that is another thing that is so hard for us moms to do - accept help when we want to do it all ourselves. Our prayers will continue for you and her, and I hope you continue the blogs so we can keep up with her progress. Even though we don't really know her or you, I feel kind of like we do. God Bless and remember you are not in this alone.
