Greetings from the house of tears! LOL, I am kidding, not really but we are okay! So, here is the latest and greatest on all things drama at Casa Carr.
Bev's dad remains in the hospital with surgery scheduled but we aren't sure for when because his blood is too thin at this point. He is more stable and alert than last update so that is good. He has to have surgery on his lungs to clear away infections and various other things that are rather gross! We hope they can move forward with surgery soon but they are looking into why his blood won't get thicker first.
Onto Charlie. As a family, we have decided that we cannot move forward with Charlie. It was the most difficult decision we have had to make ever...for both of us. We had some good talks with DCF over the week and have finally decided today that with the info we have right now, we cannot make a commitment to taking him in. We did tell DCF that if he is not placed with another family by the time they completed their evaluation of him, we would reconsider once we have more information. DCF was very thankful about the time and thought that we put into this and were very understanding...surprisingly. As we talked about it, the risks for everyone were too high and we feel comfortable that this is the right decision for us.
We will take some time to be sad and heal and then we will open our hearts to this process with the hopes of being match with a child that is a better fit and that we can provide a forever family to. Thank you all for your support through this, it has been a gut wrenching process but something that has allowed us to grow together and prioritize what is best.
