Zumbo, I just saw this thread for the first time today. I took a six month break from the forum starting a day or two before you started this, and I didn't come back until after you had started your break. I was getting misty eyed reading this today...I think that it would have been tough to handle as a reader in real time. I can't even imagine how difficult it was for your family. The people here truly are exceptional, though. What a wonderful forum. I'm glad that they were able to offer you some comfort back in the beginning, and I'm glad that you took the time to share your experiences.
I am SO happy for your family that things are working out. Cayla is just darling. Best wishes for you and yours, now and in the future.
Adam
