Serious talks

Another scary moment: Today, once again Bree told me her head hurt and then had a seizure. What's going on with that? Maybe the results of her MRI will yield answers, but we have a whole week to wait. The thought that she is now having headaches and seizures is so scary.
She also had a serious talk with me today. She wondered if I would ever get tired of her and "Throw her away." I assured her that I could never do that. That I love her way too much. "But I don't want to be a burden to you" She told me sadly. I told her she could never be a burden. But the truth of the matter is, we do need to make sure that she is provided for should something happen to Rick and I both. She can not be left alone not even for ten minutes or so. So, we need to update the will to appoint a caregiver for her or a series of caregivers. Any of her sisters would be glad to take her. But to think that she could be independent one day... That is what we want more then anything. And also, I know that Lil Bee would love to be asked to see to her well being. She and Bree are so close. Right now, Katrina is named to be guardian for Allie and Lindsey, so I need to have a talk with her and see how she feels. All of my kids are so very close and love each other so much.
Deep, morbid stuff to think about but something every parent should.
