Shirl, I know things are extremely hard for you right now. It's a lot to take in, and stuff the medical people are telling you can seem confusing at times. Once you've spent a bit more time exploring OCF I think many of your questions will find answers. I hope that we can help reassure you that you'll get through this!

You've got a new family here and we're ready to help.
