Thank you very much Judy for the insight. You gave me some very good ideas that I will try. You are so right about being exhausted all the time and I talk so harshly to her sometimes I just go to the bathroom and cry because I am just not myself. I love this baby and want to raise her to the best of my ability ,but I think sometimes at 53 I have bitten off more than I can chew. Then I get angry that her mothers family offers no help at all and it is there daughter who died with cancer. I don’t understand? But I am strongwilled and I will plug away one day at a time with her illness and sleep problems. I just get overwhelmed at times as I am sure we all do. She is a very demanding little girl but soooooo sweet and full of love. With this support board and great advice from people like you and the good Lords help I will survive. Thanks for the advice and ideas . Sincerely Cheryl
