MIke, Thank you so much for the links!! I am copying off the first article right now. You are so knowledgable and well versed in medical terminology you sure sound like a doctor.

Hi Mary! You have been so supportive to me I just wanted you to know that I hope your paperwork goes through and you're able to get the services that you need. I really feel for you.
