GOD LOVE HIM! as you all know, as survivors, this really hits you not just physically but mentally as well.. he has been in a funk for a few days.. i told him that i would get on the site and see if there is anyone that could email with him and give him that pep talk that he needs, not from us, but from people who have gone through this.. because of the salvage surgery we went ahead and got him a tablet which he can txt and receive emails on! it is his lifeline.. he loves it.. so if anyone is interested could you please email him ? Please send me a PM for his email address. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! XOXO NICKI HIS NAME IS DAN
