Dear Kelly,

I just wanted to say a quick Thank you for responding to my questions. You have really put my mind at ease as far as me thinking it was something permenantly wrong with me and any future pregnancies. I can take doing the Heparin shots- anything to have a healthy baby. I'm sorry for your losses- I know how hard it is and I wish I DID have a magical way not to worry! I think it's something that stays with you. Thanks again! Kelly Brindak >
