Eric,
I am so very sorry to hear of Caryn's news. I am going to try to continue to think positive though because within the last 20 years I've had two acquaintances and for one they found a trial and she lived longer and a good life.
I am hoping and praying that a call to the NIH can save Caryn as it did save this acquaintance and I believe it may be possible and could happen.
Whatever the outcome is I am part of the group praying for you and your family. Even though I don't know you, my heart is hurting for you and the children and hoping for the best.
I am hoping the same type of "miracle" is there for all of you.
