Cheryl,
I had tears in my eyes after reading your post. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you and your family. I really wish I could make things better for you. You are going through a lot, it's so difficult and I'm so sorry. You are obviously an incredible person. KirkGeorgia said it beautifully -- Dave is your medal for the fine job you're doing.
Best regards,
D
