I am so sorry to hear this news. Christine is one very remarkable women. She has been through alot and is absolutely amazing. I just wish she didn't have to deal with this. I pray she will be back on her feet in no time. If anyone will be...it will be her. 
I am sending warm HEALING thoughts and PRAYERS her way.
Chelee

Keep going!
I'm so sorry you have to go through this again! But I am sure you will beat it once more. You know what they say: "if you're going through hell, keep going!"
All the best for you and your family (both you and Joe have given me so much through this web site, that even though I hardly ever write, I am deeply grateful to both of you).
