Today is the 11th Year Anniversary of my Granddaughter Ally's Near Death from RSV
Austin, so proud of his little sister Ally, separated by NH DCYF
At 3 month's of age, her father took it upon himself to move the family into a dump apartment with no heat, no electricity and cockroaches. They literally had to wear their jacket's at all times, Ally in her snowsuit and hat.
In the afternoon of December 13th,2002 my daughter noticed Ally wasn't feeling well. She just wasn't herself. When her husband got home from work, she told him something was wrong with their daughter and she needed to be taken to the hospital. He picked up Ally and her eyes closed and she stopped breathing. My daughter immediately called 911 and the ambulance arrived within minutes. Ally was rushed to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, where a Nurse was a total puke and accused my daughter of lying about her daughter's condition. No surprise by this well known Hospital know for it's uncompassionate staff. Shortly thereafter, Ally again stopped breathing. The staff rushed in and gave her oxygen. She was then diagnosed with RSV. Her Mother then stayed by her side, day and night, while Daddy was too busy to be there for his little girl.
After Ally had been in the Hospital a few day's, my daughter finally left the hospital for a break. The Hospital called and told her Ally was now in an oxygen tent, telling her not to be alarmed when she arrived, but Ally wasn't doing good at all. My daughter, her husband and Ally's brother Austin arrived at the Hospital to see Ally near death, asleep and breathing with the help of a respirator.
A few day's later my daughter bought Ally a stuffed teddy bear that said the Lords prayer and placed it on the plastic above her crib. As my daughter prayed and played the Lords prayer, Ally finally opened her eyes. She then made a miraculous recovery when everyone feared the worse and was released a few day's later. Happy and healthy, in a new clean apartment with heat and electricity and no cockroaches.
Thank God the Lord heard my daughter's prayer's and saved my precious little granddaughter, only to have her kept from her Mother by a Father who never had time for her.
We love and miss you Ally and Austin!

Another Christmas is Almost Here
Another Christmas is almost here,
No sign of Austin or Bella anywhere,
The State of NH stole them away,
I'll never forget that horrible day.
Grandparents slandered,
Deceitful practices used,
NH Families are being abused,
By the Govt. agencies hired to protect,
Title IV funding we need to dissect.
This fight for reform has gone on too long,
It's no surprise families are so forlorn.
Father's, Mother's and Grandparent's aleinated against,
By our own Family Court's and DCYF.
Why is money so important to this greedy State,
While our families suffer at an alarming rate,
Our children traumatized and drugged,
After being stolen away,
Kept from their families on this most Holy day.
Christmas is for Family,
To get together and celebrate,
It shouldn't be a day of mourning,
For the children stolen by the State.
So another Christmas goes by,
Austin and Bella still aren't home,
They're living with stranger's feeling all alone.
Stolen by the State,
They think they know whats best,
They don't care about our children's best interests.
All they care about, is the money to be made,
Off of ALL our stolen children,
The Federal funding they're paid.
We love and miss you Austin and Isabella!
Some day, you WILL be home for Christmas!
