Hi, Sue,

Thanks for the support. Let me know how you are doing as you go through your

treatment plan. Are you on Tap? How has it been going for you?

Wow, I had no idea of the problems you've had and I'm so sorry AND determined

not to let that happen to Amy. I think I may have written in an earlier

email about how Amy has all her children picked out, sexes, names, numbers,

etc. She's pretty funny and very serious about children, so this is a major

issue for us.

It's mainly my husband's sister who thinks she knows all about this stuff

when she's read nothing. Sigh. Anyway, I keep printing lots of these

stories for Amy's personal file so that when people give us a hard time I can

show them real stories. . .

Thanks
