Anita,

I am so sorry to hear that Clark is having these ongoing battles and other tests on top of everything else.

It breaks my heart to read this because I know how difficult it is to be forced to deal with complications and setbacks time after time, when all we want to do is get into the final recovery stage so we can get on with life.

Just curious why you are thinking that there could be a possible recurrence, when all the current complications are most likely related to the ORN on Clark's jaw and the extensive surgery he has had with that.
