Because of all the bad news lately I was really reluctant to check in here today. When I got brave enough to take a quick peek I was so excited when I saw your post, "A little good news".
That is just wonderful news Chrisy and I am so happy for you.
Here's to the DM1 kicking those mets into the twilight zone once and for all. I'm so glad you choose to share your news because we all needed to hear it. I've been saying extra prayers for you lately & will certainly continue them. I am just thrilled for you...this is a nice way to end my day on a nice note.
