Cheryl, what can I say? The future as I understood it was that he would have increasing difficulty with breathing and continue to feel too tired to do any of the things he enjoyed. I am profoundly relieved but profoundly impacted by the shock and suddenness of the way things turned out. It is like trading one set of worries for another but I will always feel that it turned out right. Thanks for sharing because it reinforces this view. Laura
