Dear Anna~
I just saw these posts and replies. I wish I could reach out and give
you a big hug right now. I can't even imagine everything tumbling down
as it is for you and your family right now. We are here for you. I
pray news in the morning will bring some results of action for you. I
am glad to hear Barbara say something about prolapse. I heard of only
one other person in my lifetime that this happened too and it didn't
have a name and she still is suffering. I will share that with her as
well.
I pray for your husband too. I am sure the strength will come even if
we don't know how right now. It's hard to absorb all this I am sure.
Just know we are thinking of you on this end!
Keep us posted.
