Mike Curry	posted 4/1/06 1:33 AM       There are usually other brothers and sisters involved with DPG children. we made a concerted effort not to overlook the fact that we had a daughter who needed us to. She suffered through Michael's illness with us. We included her in decision making here at home. I think this was as important for her well being as ours. I have noticed that the siblings feel left out. Please try your best to remember they are hurting also.
???????????	posted 11/17/06 2:25 AM     you are so right. At the time of Brice's diagnosis, I was in denial and never thought the dr's diagnosis was posible, nonehtheless, to talk to her about what may happen. Our house was the hangout for the neighborhood kids from 2 yrs. old until Brice passed away. We had picnics, walks through the woods, bonfires and just plain talks. I knew all of the parents so that if there were problems, I could discuss w/the parents. My older daughter seemed to have handled Brice's death well, so I thought. Over the past few months she likes to talk about "old times (good ones)". I think that is positive? She has also expressed that she misses Brice when her dad and i have arguements. She hates having noone to be with during those times. She now calls her closest cousin.
