Thank you guys so much. I'm pulling myself together - this is just not something I ever thought I would hear. I am thankful that I have you guys to help me through this and this site to share with my sister who is stepping up as my care giver. Her name is Carolyn and once she has a chance to read some posts and blogs, we'll get you all introduced.
Off for more beauty rest
