Marcy,

I just wanted to let you know that I will keep Greta in my prayers.

As well as you and your family. I am sure you are very scared, I know

I would be.. God has a plan for your little girl. One way or another,

He will take care of her and she will be just fine. You will get

through this, and anyway,like you said...maybe the doctor is wrong!

They aren't always right, I have surely found that out!
