This morning at 8:55 I called Brendan's dr., and asked that he call me, because I wanted Brendan to be a direct admission, and not have to go to the Emergency Room. Each time I called the ER, they said that they could not take Brendan back right away, and he would have to sit on the mini-couches in the waiting room. Brendan cannot do that. He does not need to be sitting on hard seats, and upright, when he is sleeping so hard. I wanted Bren to have a direct admit, so that he could be put on one of those air mattresses right away, and not have to lie on an emergency room gourney waiting for this and that test to come back! The home health nurse agreed with me on this, seeing the soundness of this. I waited and waited and waited for the doctor to call back. 2 hrs. later I called again and left this message. No call... no call after 5 HOURS!!! Hubby and I had to go to take KaeLyn for her weekly shot, and so we left Patty, Brendan's personal assistant with him, to do this. Shortly after Kaelyns shot was done, Patty called. She said you need to come home right now. I said what is wrong with Brendan. She said nothing, but there is a cop here wanting to talk to you. We got home soon as we could. THE DOCTOR CALLED THE POLICE ON ME, BECAUSE I HAD NOT TOOK BRENDAN INTO THE HOSPITAL!!! All I was doing was waiting for the doctor to call me back, that is ALL... I had every intention of taking him in. I was even going to call the ambulance to come and get him. The cop could not believe that Dr. White done this, and had not called me back as I requested. The policeman said, call his office now, and tell them that I want to talk to him, and they put me on hold! Dr, White would not even talk to the cop! After 7 minutes of being put on hold, I told the cop, just to call an ambulance. I called the social worker who had been in charge of the investigation of neglect, which come back unfounded. She was so mad at the agency which is suppose to be helping us out, that nothing had been done about getting more services in our home, which was not my fault. THEN she said Brendan will probably be taken away as a result of this! WHEN I DONE NOTHING WRONG! I was so upset that I had to use an asthma inhaler in the ambulance. Brendan has a high sodium level, which was caused by DRINKING THE GATORADE, WHICH HAS HIGH SODIUM LEVELS! I had told the doctor that I was doing this too, to keep up Bren's electrolytes, and he said that was a good idea.THE DOCTOR OKAYED THIS! Then there was SLIGHT dehydration,but nothing in place to warrant calling the police on me! The cop was upset about it too, he said I know what you are talking about now when Dr. White would not even talk to him on the phone. The cop was agreeing with me about it being hooey that the dr. called the police. The cop said I see no reason why I should even be here. And I was upset, oh you know I was, especially after I was told Brendan would probably be taken away from me because of this. I have done NOTHING wrong. All I have ever done was take care of my son, and done the best I could at it. No doctor has ever disrespected me in such a way ever before! Even the home health nurse said that I was RIGHT in not taking Brendan in on Monday when there was a snowstorm, and close to zero temperature. And she agreed with me about his not being able to sit up in the waiting room for the ER, and that is why she came over to check out Brendan's vitals. I just do not get it... all the doctors say he is slowly dying, and then they want to say I am not taking care of him when he is sleeping so much, when they have told me that sleeping so much goes hand in hand with the end of life stages that he is going through! I feel so wronged! PLease pray with saints, please pray this whole mess gets starightened out! I BESEECH YOU BRETHREN PLEASE PRAY THAT BRENDAN WILL BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN OUR HOME! I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG! I AM INNOCENT AND HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF BRENDAN. I want to spend the time left I have with Brendan, with his family, where he is loved and wanted! I am starting a fast at midnight for praying in this situation, for Brendan to be returned home to his family where he should be. For the truth to be made known. PLEASE if it is laid upon your heart to do so... pray Brendan remains in our home... |
He even was awake most of the afternoon and evening, where he had been sleeping most the time at the hospital. He ate a great supper, and his appetite is good... but it is most times anyhow.
Hallelujah, Thank You Jesus!!!!!

It is so bogus, that all of a sudden, I am an "evil mother", and have to be watched to make sure I am taking care of Brendan in the manner in which I say I am. I was never watched in the 23 1/2 yrs. previously, so why do I have to be watched now? Because Brendan is slowly dying? I pray for God's conviction to come upon all of his doctors, who spoke this to me, yet did not write down anything in their notes. Especially Dr. White, who spoke this for 11 months, but will not support what he says with documentation. It makes me look bad, when I have not done anything wrong. I praise God, that not all doctors are like Dr. White, and his clinic partners. The last time that Brendan was in, he had high sodium, and I was told that part of that could be attributed to the gatorade that he had been drinking. When I told Dr. White, about giving Brendan gatorade, he was all for it, said it was an excellent idea. I guess he forgot about the high sodium content of it.

I do know, if there have been anything alleged, or charges of neglect filed, then they are suppose to let me know within 24 hrs. of it being done. No one has heard anything from the state. It has definitely been over 24 hrs.
I do know that they are in the process of interviewing or hiring someone who will be here for Mon., Tues., Thurs., & Friday from 9:30 to 1:30. This will be in place for about 6 weeks to 2 months, and then a review done, whether it is helping Brendan or not, and whether I am doing everything that I "say" I am doing in regards to Brendan's care. I cannot even say on here what I think about the whole situation, it would be very censored. I am upset about the state doing this, or rather one person who has never seen Brendan or myself. A simple study would show that people who have electrolyte imbalances, and dehydrated, are often lethargic and non-responsive. It is not due to external influences. If this person would do a little homework, she would find this out. Coming into our home like this is invasive, and a breach of our family's privacy. It is not right, and should not be allowed. I have never done anything to warrant this type of watching!

All I can do is hold on to the truth, and know that I am taking care of Brendan in the best way that I can, at the time that he needs cared for, and helped. I don't think anyone could ask for anything more than that. God bless. |
I don't like it when people are intrusive and snooty instead of compassionate and sympathetic.
, so forgive my late reply, as I am not able to get on here as much as I would like to... we are in the process of trying to find a house, plus get all the necessary paperwork into everywhere, a task in itself! I have to keep reminding myself, I can do ALL things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me!
. I am heading to lay down VERY soon, and try to "power-sleep" as much as I can before the phone starts ringing.
Thank You for the prayers. Right back at you. Many hugs!
Can't do much else. Just lay there, drowsy, and pray silently in tongues.... I was praying for you guys that way yesterday, and I honestly did not feel it was in my soul that time....

Thank You for the prayers. Right back at you. Many hugs!I updated in the thread about being in the healing room, so all could still pray I get this burden bearing thing right. I just felt to get that updated and clear to folks, that I still need prayers. Been tired, so that helps me carry it in the spirit.... Can't do much else. Just lay there, drowsy, and pray silently in tongues.... I was praying for you guys that way yesterday, and I honestly did not feel it was in my soul that time.... That is DEFINITELY the truth: No weapon formed against you shall prosper!!! ~JeriRose~ Finding HIM in 2004 ![]() |
