Scott I am so sorry you guys had to go through that..rough.Perhaps print out all the good wishes from your friends here and ask her to read them,and realize she is affecting not just herself but others as well..I don't usually know how to reach addicts,I have had some success,but not always,it really depends on the level the person is on..I truly hope she can bring herself to seek treatment and life..
When I was sixteen,my older brother Dave was coming home from work,he worked two jobs,his big wish was to get enough money to restore an old sixties car he bought..he was struck and killed by a hit and run driver,and I happened on the accident scene.It has been a part of my life,ever since,the sights and all that happened..Today,November 1,he would have been fifty four.I think about how he would have affected others lives,because he was such a good,generous soul..I wish he had the chance to restore that old car.I hope your dear daughter chooses life,there is a lot to live for..hang in there my friend..

...official diagnosis....unresponsive episode triggered by very severe panic attack and low blood sugar combined with dehydration...no drugs in her system, praise Gan...
Sending you and your family many prayers. May your daughter be on the road to recovery and find the strength to fight for that recovery. (((Scott, Tracy and family)))

...and I could use one in return tonight...not to overshare, but my wife and I had to save my baby girl tonight....was clinically dead when I got there...god bless CPR and Narcan...this isn't the first time either...I am at my wits end...and as I type this, Tracy walked in an told me that her tox screen was negative, they classified it as a severe panic attack that put her under....I can't shoulder much more...thanks for "listening" Dana....
My darlin' man, I know this was for Dana, but my heart hurts for you. My family went through this hell, and I can almost say I know how you feel (parenthood is a little different than being a sibling, I know). Know that people are praying for you and Tracy and for your daughter. F**k drugs and f**k the crap they vomit into minds, hearts, and lives.
