Two, the statementas to not visiting SFL was a referenceto the nearness time for our hearing on temporary custody in and visitation which will be scheduledon WednesdayJune 20. The reservationwas Paul's hotel in Orlando. Given the difficulties with our interaction yesterday,I prefer to wait for an order from the court defining my visitation rights independentof you. I appreciateyour accommodationeffort, but was under the belief you were taking smith to Orlando no matter where I was on fathers day. No matter what your position, you would agreeyou are not bringing him to Pensacola where his father lives for fathers day visitation, right ? This even afterjudge Horowitz advisedyou to review 61.13001regardingrelocationof a minor child without consentof the other parent.I do believe he was trying to give you good advice.

To: Christine Cook S, Subject Re: Medical Authorization I appreciatethe details you gave me, but was kind of surprisedby his sicknessgiven all of your activity surroundingyour scheduledtrip up here to retrieve your personal belongings. To be clear, As a concernedparent I think I have a right to know, and to be made aware when my child is sick and possibly in need of medical care. It is obvious that you have not kept me aware of Smith's health condition in a timely manner,which is a factor to be consideredby the Court. For that reasonI am obtaining the medical recordsto educate myself on the calls and consultaitonsthat have been made to Dr. Barber where I was not advisedthere was a problem. As for visiting htis weekend,you made it clear in your previous message that no one was travelling this weekend due to Smith's condition. In his current state,I do not thhink it is advisablefor me to travel down there and take him from you for the weekend and have to re-purchasethe medicationsyou already bought. What I would ask is that you notify me when you plan to travel up here, and then I can travel down there and keep hom that weekend.That way I can seehim, you can pack with full confidencethat he is beoing well cared for, and then upon your retum to Pembroke,I can return him to you after you have unpackedand returnedyour U-Haul truck. Pleaseadvise me of your plans to travel up here as soon as you have scheduledthe rental truck. Once again, I hope both you and Smith are feeling better, and would appreciateany updateyou could provide me regarding his current diaper rash, his ability and desireto eat solid food, and how he is sleeping. A new picture would also be appreciated.
