I have always held firmly to the fact that everything happens for a

reason and sometimes we're lucky enough to be given the confirmation

by knowing why a situation has been put upon us and othertimes, we're

left with not knowing until we pass on to that wonderful place above.

But that's how I carry on and accept all of the things that are layed

upon me and my family.

I TRUELY, TRUELY believe that at least ONE of the reasons you have

been through all of these medical trials is so that you would be here

on this board. You have no idea how much you have helped me and my

family, but last month when you posted me about doing anything and

everything to make the medical profession give me the care I

needed...Well, that finally motivated me to get the spark back that I

had lost and become the advocate for myself again. And look at what

happened, I find out that I'm not going to leave my children in the

immediate future and I'm given TRIPLE the time that I was originally

told that my liver will still be pushing on! What a blessing and

Godsend that was for my entire family and I wish you could've seen the

babies faces when we told them..it was so beautiful and I have you to

thank for that. I will keep you in all of our prayers and thoughts,

because I really have come to rely on getting on my computer and

reading something truely inspirational or something very helpful, that

my doctors should've told me, but didn't. You are an angel on Earth

for a lot of people... I am sure that you have touched many, many

others besides just me. Please let us know how all of your test,

surgeries and visits go and thank you very much for being here.

Hugs to all,

Ginger
