Mindy,
Thank you for still being here and being so helpful.  ou really seem to be gifted in encouragement.
I wrote you months ago as I was considering seeing Dr Redwine.  Though I would have loved to see him it seems in my
best interest go go with Dr Albee which I have heard great things aobut also.
Again...thanks!
DJ
