Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Ted & Shirley, I am so sorry that this has happened. I wish you the very best with your struggle. Someone in the group had a hard time with some of the things I said about a DAN doctor I visited once and refused to go back to. I think we on the list, at least I know I do, bounce in and out of thinking mainly about our own struggle for our kids but when we get a breather we can relate better to the list. I don't know who the person is, but I hope they soon come to their senses! It certainly is disappointing to all of us, even though it was your family that suffered the direct hit.
