Hello Shelagh. I have no experience with your sister's situation but I hope you will allow me to put you, your sister and the rest of your family on my prayer list. I really hope the dr.s find a solution to your sisters dilemna. It seems it would really help her to be more comfy. You are in my prayers. Lee
