I noticed your warm wishes on the last board, thank you. I just got back to work from the hospital. I'm sorry to say that it didn't go well. They're going to monitor her for a couple of days, but it doesn't appear to be a success. I won't get into details, but if you could keep the positive thoughts going her way, I would love it.
As a side note, I did give her the letter last night. I read it to her and then I told her she can do what ever she wants with it, and if she never wants to discuss its existence, that was okay. I wanted her to know how much I appreciated the fact that she agreed to yet another surgery. She took it really well. We cried together and had one of those moments that every sibling should have at least once. I think it's the only thing I've done that has actually had a positive effect on her in a long time. So I wanted to thank you guys for encouraging me to give it to her. I'm glad I did, and you were right, I probably would have regretted it if I hadn't.
Thanks again, Volksgirl
