Re: Help needed in making decision Hi Diane

[Guest guest]

Hello!

A great big thank you to everyone who offered me some advice on the

decision regarding . I feel much better now. We have an

appointment at CHOA (Children's Hospital of Atlanta) this Friday. I

found out from here and from the doctor that referred us that Jim or

are great - they have seen good results and received good

reports from their patients from both and Jim.

I don't feel like I can discuss this with anyone here, so I'm glad

to have this outlet.

thanks again,

Diane and
