Cindy,

I'd really like to tell you that things sound a bit hectic for you but I am afraid you might just hop in the car, drive 4 hrs up the interstate and commence to kick my butt!!! eek

I could offer to drive down Saturday and give you the day off. I might be a bit rusty with kids as mine are 14 and 16 now but I am willing to give it a try if you need it. Just let me know.

AND NOW THE DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

3 more treatments!!!! HOORAH!! Take the time to celebrate the milestones along the way. You certainly have earned that. You have done what you thought you couldn't and I had a heart warming sensation reading your post as you passed the baton off to someone just starting this journey (Debbie). You will be a great resource for her, I can already tell.

It won't get better for a while but the time in the car will definitely start winding down. You have done a great job and you should be proud of it.
