Marily,
Thank you so much for keeping us updated on Shawna. How did her test
results come out? We are praying for her and hoping that she can at
least receive enough medicine to be pain free and maybe get some sleep.
Chistmas is getting closer and closer and my wish is for her to be well
enough to enjoy Christmas at home with family. Please let her know that
we are here and do care.
Lynn
