Don't feel bad, Margaret. MWOP still has their "Cares for Chris" button up and I was comfortable as long as they were too. You did a good thing and I have no regrets, but you personally put a lot of effort into it. I can see why you would be upset.

Shannon - maybe my boots will do just fine :-(

"Was it military insurance? If so, that explains it. It pays for all types of...stuff...civilian insurance doesn't."

It was either my insurance through the bank or his through Boeing. I don't remember. When I moved to MD, my OB wanted to test me for the CF gene again, and would not take my word that I had already been tested and was not a carrier and neither was my husband. I think testing is way more common on the East Coast then it is in the Mid-West.

My cousins did not know they were carriers before they had kids, so I don't *blame them. It does make me nervous when some of my other family members get pregnant knowing that they are carriers. For the record, both kids with CF are on Medicaid, because their medications and treatments are so expensive that private insurance does not even come close to covering it all. Well, only one of them has some private insurance. The other one was born to a single mother who has been in one kind of school or another since her DD was born.

We were not opposed to adopting a child with special needs, like CF. We were going to go International, because, at the time, Missouri had lenient adoption laws and there were several ongoing cases where the bio parents were fighting to get their kids back years later. Since we were DINKS at the time, fostering to adopt seemed daunting and we wanted the piece of mind of knowing that baby was *ours.

"Like I said our hearts were in the right place. We were trying to help someone out. It is not our burden to bear if they took advantage."

I know and I have no regrets over helping someone. It's not my fault if they took advantage. But I *do feel awful about making it such a huge part of this blog, leading others into it. Especially including Margaret, who did the auction, and Kaytie, who helped them so very much. I may feel a blog post coming on, in fact, so that if anyone searches them, they'll find out what's going on.

AND FTR FOR THOSE LURKING AND READING THIS WHOLE SITUATION WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH ELISABETH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HATING ON HER OR HER BROTHER CHRIS IT HAS TO DO WITH FEELING SCAMMED. SHE WAS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT ON THIS BLOG SO LONG AS WE WERE ABLE TO HELP THEM OUT FINANCIALLY. SHE DISAPPEARED FROM HERE AND TOLD SEVERAL WHO EMAILED HER PRIVATELY IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR INTERNET. APPARENTLY THESE ISSUES WERE LIES AS SHE HAS BEEN POSTING OTHER PLACES WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT.

SOME HERE WERE INVESTED IN KNOWING HOW CHRIS WAS DOING AND SHE HAS NOT SO MUCH AS MADE AN ATTEMPT AT ANYTHING. I DO NOT BEGRUDGE HER FOR PERHAPS MOVING ON BUT I DO FOR HOW SHE HAS MADE SO MANY FEEL USED.

Um...is this a bad time to pull up a lawn chair and crack a Schlitz?

KaytieJ said...

Shannon - for once I did not need my glasses to read a post :-D Glad those chaps and spurs fit you so well! (teasing ya). And thank you for that post. We Daisies cared a lot about Chris, still do, and it has nothing to do with our helping out. More like being left in the dust.

Lisa - You did a good thing. Don't apologize. We are all adults (I think).

Margo said...

No hating going on here - just wide eyed recognition that the Daisies got punked :)

My DH is sick. I was going to make chicken curry soup (not spicy hot) because he loves it and thought it would help his throat. He informed me he wants a hot dog with mustard and Dennison chile.
I forgot that his mom told me this was his favorite "sick" food as a kid.
Off to the store for hot dogs and chile.

Anyone else have a partner that likes weird food when they are sick?

Margo said...

I'm ok with you joining us as long as you're wearing a tube top.

"We Daisies cared a lot about Chris, still do, and it has nothing to do with our helping out. More like being left in the dust."

Exactly. I have no doubt in this world he had a massive stroke and that he's now disabled. I believe he (naturally) lost his job over it and I don't blame anyone for trying to get him some financial help to pay for meds and therapy. You tend to lose a lot of pride with it's your loved one in need. That said, the irresposibility of how they handled it is bad enough but to go on about how we're all so great, then leave us in the dust, as Kaytie said, once we couldn't (or wouldn't) give money month after month, speaks volumes.

Not a partner but Jake will eat nothing but cheap frozen pizza when he's sick. I know he's feeling better when he says, "How does Subway sound to you right now?" I've never understood it. Maybe it's a male thing?

Came out of lurkdom because I heard Shannon shouting all the way down here in Cali! lol :D

Too bad this was handled badly. You all did nice things for Chris. I guess you just take it on the chin and try and not become jaded.

Ok..back to lurking

Shannon said...

Hello Suz!!!!! Sometimes I feel the need to be heard :)

suz said...

Shannon, You did the right thing :D
