Lydia

Dear Family,

For those of you that don't know, Lydia is back in jail. Not that it is an excuse, but she went off her antidepressant medication and when she does that she gets very depressed and hopeless. Lyd had 143 days clean and blew it! She violated her Drug Court Agreement by being positive for opiates, which means that she is in deep trouble this time!! Because she plead guilty they will decide next Tuesday whether or not she will remain in the Drug Court Program, which upon completion will reduce her felony to a misdemeanor or if she will just do her time and have a felony on her record for the rest of her life. We went to see her today and she asked me to ask the family if you would fast for her tomorrow, that they will sentence her to what is best for her. Worst case scenario is prison, 1 to 5 years, which is what the original plea that she plead guilty to a year ago. Secondly is 6 months in jail in their RSAT program that is only 3 hours a day, 4 days a week and the rest of the time just sitting in jail with criminals and not other drug addicts. Third and the one that we are praying for, is their IOP program, that is 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for three months. It is much more intensive program and she would be with people that are trying to get their lives back on track. They told her the last time that she messed up if they gave her one more chance and that if she screwed it up, that she would be going to prison. IF they do allow her to stay in the drug court program, it WILL be RSAT and they haven't even considered the IOP program. But I worry about her mental stability if that happens. We will be lucky if they don't send her to prison, but we are hoping for a miracle and that they will put her in their IOP program. Lyd has asked for your prayers and to please fast for her tomorrow. I know that when this all started a little over a year ago she asked you to fast for her and said what a difference it made. I keep telling myself that my Lydi is still in there somewhere and I ask you to please help her one more time. I just keep thinking MAYBE THIS TIME! I guess that is what I will always hopes for no matter how many times it happens! Thank you all for your support. I have the most wonderful family that I could ever ask for! I love you All!! Aunt Jack
