> I have a 19 year old daughter who has been diagnosed with severe

> She is scheduled for exploratory surgery and Laser treatments tomorrow.
> She is bright and caring and desparately wants children someday.
> Right now her eyes are dulled by pain medication and pain, and her

> watched me struggle for years.
> I was exactly her age when my ARD began. I had 6 miscarriages and 2
> live births and a hysterectomy at age 30, 14 operations since then, blah
> blah blah.
> I am praying Erin won't follow in my sticky footsteps.
>
> Please, if you have a second or two, will you send a quick little prayer
