Long day....

Our day started around 3am. After getting my leave papers signed and the girls off to school Renae, Faith, and I drove here to Louisville, Ky to admit Faith into the The Brook Hospital here. That is a long process, took us approx three hours. Faith was awesome in answering questions, it has to be the best I have ever seen her open up and be honest. You can really tell she is wanting this to work. We were so lucky to come to our temporary home here at the Ronal McDonald house. This is an amazing place with some amazing families and children. Words just cannot describe the warm welcome and smiles from all the families here. There are volunteers that come here every night to cook warm meals for us. What a change from the last hospitalization, hopefully this continues, we will not know for a week or so. Tonight there are two therapy dogs coming to visit the kids. Faith is so excited. She is so anxious about tomorrow that she cannot set still. I just hope she has the courage and strengh she needs to do this. I know she will for the first couple of days, but this is not easy. They do what they can to push and prod her mentally to every breaking point known. They must see her at her absolute worst so they can correctly diagnose her and get her stable. It is heartbreaking knowing what they are doing behind those doors when your child leaves, the only thing keeping me sain is know we get to have her in our arms each day at 5pm. I do not , nor do I ever, want to know how parents can let their kids go for weeks at a time. She is so tough but dang no kid should ever have to do this. It is not fair. I wish I could take all this pain from her and put it in me...so she would never have to suffer again. Keep Faith in your thoughts. She will win this battle I know...kris and renae
