Re: Re: - Ian's Cat Scan- Siblings

[Guest guest]

I am glad you got the scan out of the way and hope

everything turns out just fine. Let us know when you

find out the results.

I know how it is with a sibling. My oldest daughter

thinks that we love Hailey (SGA) more than her. We

have to spend so much time with her because she stays

sick so much. Another thing is that when Hailey goes

for tests and so forth at the hospitals (we have two

different ones that we go to) Hailey always get some

kind of toy or stuffed animal. does not

understand why she didn't get anything.

When is there it is really hard on her because

Hailey gets all of the attention and no one pays

attention to her. I have a hard time trying to

convince her that she is the lucky one not to have to

go through all of that. She doesn't see the negative

side to it all, she only sees the positive things.
