Thank you so much Maria! Yes, he is very resourceful and knowledgeable also!!!!! Talked to a friend in So CA a few minutes ago, had almost as much as I am having, but said same, when she saw what this doc wants to do, run for another opinion! She said wished I lived down there as could have her surgeon do it, and he is very good,,,but am 600 or more miles north of there! And have hard time getting around here lol! Anyway, thank you for your support and help, will let you know what way it goes,,, and yes, parents will feel as much pain if not more knowing their children have to suffer so.....I have no children,,but watched my mother cry for me many times over the years,,,broke my heart to see her cry...miss her every day, she died in my arms almost 7 yrs ago, still seems like yesterday..........back soon when loaded with better answers I HOPE xxoo
