Maybe MD and his wife *are* reading this forum and getting some comfort from it, even if they don't think they can participate. We just don't know.
We should all keep that in mind, and try and keep our comments supportive and compassionate, no matter what anyone thinks about the way he and his family are handling the situation - criticism of that is not going to be helpful to them.
