Irene,
I would say this is exactly why the term "rollercoaster" was dubbed to
describe the emotional pull of dealing with our kids' issues.  I love it that
we have a place to vent and don't have to apologize for our feelings.

You are an awesome Mom.  Caroline is such a fighter to endure all that
she has.  I think it takes huge character to consider the intent of ALL the
options available.  Hang in there!

Lots of love,
