Doctors Can't Agree

We went to court again yesterday to determine our parental rights. However it seems that even the Doctors can't (or won't) agree on the diagnosis. The state's doctor said our Pediatric radiologist (who is the department head) "has no idea what she is talking about." Another doctor said that Cheyenne "may" have had rickets, but has "outgrown" it. As a result, we must now pay for yet another doctor's opinion at the cost of $650/hr. Another hearing was scheduled for early March.

CPS has decided not to give Grandma Jo (Laurie's grandmother and Cheyenne's current custodian) the right to "supervise" our visits. So while she is with family, CPS is effectively denying us the right to see her without "authorized" supervision.

Additionally they have accused both of us of missing several mandatory drug testing appointments. Fortunately we have kept all testing paperwork and can prove that we only missed one. That was because the paperwork ordering us to test arrived the afternoon the first test was scheduled.

We want to thank everyone who has donated to our cause. All money received goes to pay legal fees or medical tests needed to prove our innocence and get Cheyenne back home with us. Please tell your friends about us and let them know that it can happen to anyone. Every dollar helps.

Thanks again. - Scott
