Hi Joan! I'm so sorry to hear about all of your family problems :( I thought I had problems but you beat me. My little girl is going through a series of test on her kidneys (she's 2) my husband is on medication-he has a bad heart and liver and I of course have endo that is diabling me one day at a time. I go to the doctor on Feb 23rd to discuss a hysterectomy - what a coinsidence! lol I'm praying for you and your family, you'll all get through this just fine. Extra prayers for your mother-in-law. I lost my grandmother to cancer about 6 years ago so I know what you are experiencing. It's never easy to see someone you love suffer. Isn't it funny how the woman has to be the strong one :) whether she has problems or not! Gotta cut this one short, time for bed (I'm in a totally different time zone than you so you're probably already in bed :) Sweet dreams to ya! Big hugs to ya for Valentines Day! God Bless You!!! And your Family too! Amy
