Hi Lori,

What great news! Congrats to you guys. Please let us know if

you're able to get pics up. You could always try emailing them to

to post. Thats great your neuro will be investigating your

complaint. Hopefully it will keep others from going through this

same problem. I'm glad you're sticking around!
