I have great news... I have a perfect healthy heart! I am experiencing stress related symptoms, but this is not affecting my heart. I can take beta blocker vitamins if I choose. I received my fax from the doctor yesterday stating my good health, and I called CPS, of course I had to leave a message and I'm waiting for them to call me back. I have requested my GChildren to be placed back at my home was my message I had to leave. During this time my husband and I started with a FC agency to get our AZ FC and Adoptive license. I'm not giving CPS any reason my Gkids will not be placed back with me. I'm hopeful the CW (who is a power head) doesn't give me a hard time. But if so, I'm going to back off and wait till we go to court on April 6th. At that point I will ask to speak, and when I do, I will give the Judge everything! I have kept a journal of all conversations, with dates, time, and conversations topics. If I do not hear from the CW by Monday, I will send certified mail my medical document to the CW, her supervisor, her supervisors manager and I will also file it with the courts. By filing with the courts in this case, The judge will have notice and when I ask to speak, I will have a bettter edge.This past month I've had the time to clear my head, I'm still having a little chest pain and my heart flips, but I breath and convince myself to stop thinking,.. Yep I'm a thinker based on what the doctor says :0)

Nutsandbolts, I know what you mean about stress. Every once in a while I'll hyperventilate. It's weird, because I don't realize I'm doing it. But I have to yawn in order to get enough oxygen, and that can go on for months! The only way it stops is if I can "forget" about the yawning long enough to stop hyperventilating. I think it's actually called hyperventilation syndrome, but I don't get the panic attacks.

What a mess we are, huh? LOLOLOLOL!

It is WONDERFUL news that you have shared with us about your heart. I just hope, that since the CW's supervisor has helped you in the past, that she will step it up and help you now.

Good luck, best wishes and God Bless you.

So good to hear that your ticker won't get in the way of your raising your kids! Keep up the good work documenting, documenting and documenting. It will pay off in the end.

Glad to hear you got a clean bill of health. I hope that you hear back from the CW and she realizes that your gk's are best with you. I wonder, sometime, where these people think they get off.....I understand what there jobs are I just don't think that they do. Some people get a lttle bit of power and it goes right to there heads an they wouldn't be able to make a good decision if it was handed to them. They can't see to see past what "they think is best".

Good luck you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

That's GREAT news, N&B! I'm so happy for you. Keep us posted and hang tough! :)

Take a deep breath---I'm praying for you.

Sounds like you've still got your wits about you.

Great news, nutsandbolts! What a relief. I have multiple stress symptoms but have no insurance so can't get anything checked out. It must be such a relief to be told your heart is just fine! I'm so happy for you!

Hope the rest goes well!

Grannyske & SaraBT, the doctor told me if I wanted, I can take vitamines with beta blocker...It's for stress. This is found over the counter. I have opted not two, I'm one who can go maybe a week of taking pills and then start to gag.

I just purchased the ECIG to quit smoking. ( they have a 7.99 trial going on right now if anyone is interested.) Read the small print, you will need to call a 800 number to cancel before they ship you a 2mth supply at 79.99 . Our local news did the trial and quit smoking.

The CW called yesterday, She told me her supervisor and the supervisors manager are looking into allowing me the kids back. I'm not trusting anything until the kids are home and if they are not home I know which steps to take. Again I had to ask the CW to calm down and allow me to answer one question at a time. Simply put let me talk and have her listen for a refreshing moment.

Yep, my wits are with me along with your prayers. Thank you for the hug Theresa!

Oh, that's hopeful news! I'm glad to hear that. I do wish we could have one big coffee club and meet somewhere (my house would work) and just talk, talk, and talk some more. Wouldn't that be great? Since we can't, however, I will keep sending my hugs and positive thoughts to you. Hang in there; this too shall pass. :)
