I'd like to add my welcome and about the only thing to add is go to her appointments with her and write down everything and ask lots of questions. For me it was all such a whirl, if my wife had not been therer I would have been lost. She asked all teh pertinent questions and took notes on everything, it was a tremendous help. Best of luck.
