Glad to hear that your hubby is a good support for you through this and that he will be home for you as well. Best of luck to you... Shawn M.

Congratulations on the date and I think you made a great choice with Dr Zeni. The Bari program at St Mary Mercy is great for information, too,both before and after surgery. I'll see you on the losing bench and at the support meetings!

Congrats on the date Marie! Glad your hubby is on board with it too...that's always helpful. I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a child....I will keep you in my prayers. Theresa
