Thanks, Mare! I try to get him to post, he does have an account, but he stays so busy it's hard for him to get on. I keep him updated though.

Hopefully once he finishes his BS degree (this summer) he'll have a little more time. He has explored the MENs forum some though and seemed to like it!

Hi Melinda,

Ben has his first appointment with Duke scheduled June 25th, the day after my 1 yr follow up appointment. He'll probably be submitted to the insurance about a month following his appointment and we'll just have to see how long it will take from there.

Today has been fairly gentle. Sarah has been resting most of the day. I ordered groceries online from a local market and they will be delivered shortly and caught up on the laundry. The visiting nurse came by to check on Sarah and change her dressing. She's been sleeping off and on all day, catching up on much needed rest.

Thanks for keeping me close in thought.

Hugs,

Barb
