Thank you Travis...I've been checking everyday for any new news. I'm happy you got a chance to talk to her...how did she seem? I guess she was out of it which is good. I think that is what she wanted...to sleep through this. We all love your mom and have both of you in our prayers. Please let us know how the surgery goes.

I have been away from the Forum for a while.....just taking one of those breaks that most of us needs from time time.....and I am so distressed not to have known of Christine's surgery.

I want to add myself to the army of Christine's supporters! What an ordeal. NObody should have to go through so much!

Travis, your mom will be very proud of you. You both have a difficult journey ahead, but supporting each other, you'll both do fine.

Be assured of my prayers for you both. I'll check daily now, for your updates.

XOXO--Colleen T.
