My sister is trying to get custody of a little girl. Let me try and sum up the sittuation the best that I can.
This 2 1/2 year old girl is in CPS custody in South Dakota for abuse and neglect. The little girl and her 3 year old sister were found wandering the street. One of the parents asleep in the house. The other at work. As far as the abuse, no details have been let out yet.
My sister and brother in law have raised this child since she was a month old. Both parents are meth addicts. The father spent time in prison for assualt on the mother. 3 months ago the parents took the little girl that my sister has raised, she then left the state. We live in Arizona, they moved to South Dakota.
We just found out that they are in CPS custody. So my sister hired a lawyer to try and get her back.. The lawyer said his fees will be anywhere between 3000 and 10,000 dollars. I will add the child is Native American. Is there a lot of hope? For those who know, let me know the chances????

Hi – yesterday I asked about the effects of latge dose Xanax (8mg/day – prescribed)…. which I have a tolerance to – and having an alcoholic drink – when I am almost a total non-drinker (1 or 2 drinks a YEAR).
MarkS replied (in part)…”You really need to consider detox from Xanax which can readily cause cirrhosis of the liver under normal conditions, but you are way beyond that.”

Can MarkS – or someone – clarify this? Cos it reads to me, that I probably have cirrhosis already, just due to the Xanax. I know on an abdo CT scan for something unrelated, it was noted my liver was uniformally hypoechoic (?) ….but no reason or queried explanation was given, and no follow up happened re this. (I was having a barium swallow for an intestinal issue and the focus was on that)

But yeah – this answer from MarkS…..can someone tell me how they interperet it or MarkS – do you mean you would guess I already have cirrhosis?

Thanks
Several years (at least 10) before the report with the liver comment & no, no tumour etc following)…an incidental finding of a lump in my liver came about when I had an U/S for something else. They thought it was a fatty lump but more tests said no. Then they thought ‘haemangioma’ but nuclear tagged dye said no. Then they began to worry and thought cancer – I had a biopsy of this lump (about 4cm oval) with a pathologist with m/scope there in the room. His first initial look appeared to him to be simply a mass of liver tissue – like a mole or other mass of tissue – and benign. About 5 years later the lump had reduced in size. I never found out what it was, the cause & I don’t know if it is even still there. I have odd things in my body, like 8 wisdom teeth, a tortuous bowel, a harmatomous(sp) polyp like a Peultz Jeager – when I do not have that condition (polyp from transverse colon & sent to the US for final diagnosis – it was so weird. I feel like a freak ‘put together’ all wrong.

I’m a 26 year old male and usually only drink on the weekends. I partied pretty hard this weekend and I’m getting a little discomfort from the upper right side of my abdomen. I’m pretty sure my liver is recovering. Have any of you experienced this? Is this a sign I should stop drinking and if the discomfort continues to see my docter?
