Marie....some precious angels are so worth fighting for! Your Ed is one of them. Sometimes this special people take a little more figuring out to get them healthy. They are simply wonderful, but so complex. It may take some doing to get the right concoction for your guy, but his journey, his tough battle blesses others day in and day out! You're commitment to faith and belief are just the right medicine for so many of us. The journey is hard, but each of the days you battle, you bless us all. May God stretch out his arms and gather you up for a giant hug and reassurance. Lots of love, mary anne
