Rusty confirmed this. He told the doctor that Andrea had been doing great. That month, She had spent her time baking cookies, doing arts and crafts, sewing costumes for the holidays, and spending time with her boys. Now the one symptom she said she still had was that she felt restless at night. And because of that, she said she wanted to completely get off all of her medications.

Now both Dr. Starbranch and Rusty were skeptical of this. Sure, Andrea was doing better, but who knows what would happen if she got off all medication. But little did either of them know, Andrea hadn't been taking her medicine. In fact, in January of 2000, she admitted to Dr. Starbranch that she had completely stopped taking all of her medicine two months back. in November.

The death of Andrea's father triggered something within her. Of course, losing a parent is hard on anyone, but for a woman who just had a baby and already struggled with her mental health, this seemed to have sent Andrea over the edge. Following her father's death, she stopped eating and drinking. She would hardly even speak to anyone.

They feared that it was only a matter of time until she attempted suicide again.
