The Quick and Dirty

Hi there...
The past two weeks have literally been a whirlwind...packed of new information and findings. And as of this moment, I feel like we have all settled into a really positive place and are very faithful that Mom has been blessed with the best case scenario. Below is my attempt to catch everyone up the most efficient way possible. As you will see, Mom has a doctors appointment this coming Thursday so we should have another wave of information then. But definitely stayed tuned as we all have been doing a lot of reading on the subject and I hope to post some interested facts and some informational websites to checkout. Talk to you guys soon.
