Hi Sheila...

Was wondering why you weren't in the list of those who went to San Antonio as I was thinking all the time that both you and Donna were there. The being as sick as you are for such a long time stinks. Just wondering, is your immune system holding up? [I'm not totally sure, and you would know better, but I think things like WBC are some indication.] There are really no suggestions I can add to what to others have said...only that I care. If there is ANYTHING that I/we could do to help, please let us know.

Love and a hug,
Melanie
