Gram stopped taking water or ice cubes about 3 days ago. It's not going to be long now.
I meet with my attorney about a half hour before court. How could that POSSIBLY be enough??? I'm more nervous about her being well-enough prepared than I am about court. I'm starting to wonder how this will all work out.
I have a lot to do between tonight and tomorrow when I get on the plane. But court is Monday and I'm relieved that I don't have to wait any longer than that.
I had called Cookie's caseworker and left a message asking if I should ask the birthmom to dinner while I was there, and if she would let me know her thoughts after seeing her at the visit today; but I didn't hear from her. I don't want to fight with Cookie's mom--I want to work together.
Sounds like everyone is on lock-down with me. Someone suggested that maybe the mother got some legal representation that's doing their job and advised her not to be nasty to me--but not to talk. It would explain our last conversation and it would explain why there's be ZERO contact with anyone since Saturday night. They're not going to scare us off.
I'm just praying that this is all going to work in our and Cookie's favor. I'm praying. How could they not see the danger to this child's future? But you see judges do this all the time. I'm just praying this isn't one of them.
