Re: Beginning GHT questions- thank you Pattie

[Guest guest]

Hi Pattie,

Thank you so much. At the last visit when so many things were being

decided, I was not there, our other child was sick so, my husband,

Vince, took her. I will ask him about a yellow sheet. I tried to

call and email Dr. H., but on 3 occasions have not gotten a live

voice.

I appreciate your help. Happy Thanksgiving!

Diane
