Dear Marge:
I'm new to this forum, and it has taken me a while to read through this entire thread, but having done so I now feel part of a most amazing community bound by caring, friendship, support and love. For all the good wishes, thoughts and prayers sent your way, the return is doubled to those with whom you have shared your family's personal moments, all the anguish, pain, and relief.
I can tell you that in reading your journal from the beginning to where things stand now, I too have run the gamut of emotions and wished that all it could take to make things better are good thoughts and prayers, because if it did, you know that you, your son and his family would have more than a lifetime's worth of the magical potion in the bank.
I sincerely hope that the tears of pain you and your family have shed thus far will, in time, be replaced by tears of joy.
My thoughts are with you...
Lise
