Debbi - I'm sooooo sorry to hear this news!! You are in my thoughts.

I have no experience with the Kerlan Jobe clinic, so I can't help you

with that, but please keep us updated! Take care and don't overdo

anything. Keep a pink flamingo nearby and know that all the So-CA

EDSers are thinking of you!
