Hi Laura, you've definitely come to the right place for good advice, and for the hand-holding too, for that matter. Not only are these folks very experienced and knowledgeable about this, but you won't find a more compassionate bunch anywhere, either!
You certainly have my best wishes for a Happy outcome, however it plays out.
Best of luck,
Bart
