Thanks, Kirk! I wanted to hear things like that! I will admit that the docs said they nodes could be dead, and we could 'wait and see,' but none of us liked that idea.

Hope you are able to enjoy lots of your favorite things this holiday smile I see your journey began a year ago - - God bless you - -

Hugs from Virginia!
