In on one with a better title. Screw page three. I'm blowing in early baby!
 
New Snarkage! First time in on 1!:thumbup:

Also, thanks a lot to all you guys for the well wishes, thoughts, and prayers for my daughter, it means a lot. We just got back from Indianapolis. Got her MRI done. BARELY! She paniced in the confined space and had to take her out. It took me and her Mother about 20 mins to calm her down and get her to try it again, I hated to but I had to talk sternly to her to convince her the importance of it. After that, she was a real trooper and got through it. But, I'm sure it was a pretty scary expierence for a 10 yr. old. Of coarse we won't know the results for a few days, but as I was telling Murph on the phone earlier, I honestly have myself convinced that whatever is wrong, she is gonna be O.K. so that's good. Its just difficult as a parent to see your kids in pain or scared and there's nothing you can do for them.

It's that you really do feel totally powerless to do anything for them. Todd, having been through a different but similar situation with my older daughter a few years ago, I think being stern with her was the loving thing to do. My kid had fractured her skull (not as bad as it sounds) and I couldn't get her to go into the MRI for nearly three days after we entered the ICU - they wanted to check for spinal damage, long story short, the delay caused some unneeded heartbreak. You don't have to do anything special for them, you already are - just being present and being her dad.

I wish you and your family well and with good news about your daughter.
