"my days are blending together this past week."

Most of my days are like that anymore.

I've been following all of this and praying for Terri. I just can't bear to get too involved. My job is stressful enough.

I know how DCFS works here, but laws and policies are not uniform from one state to another. If it were here, she could be taken on a 72 hour hold without a court order, but an affadavit would have to be filed and an emergency ex parte order issued within that 72 hour window, to be followed by a probable cause hearing within 5 business days. DCFS cases here do NOT go before the same judges that preside over civil and/or criminal matters.
