Thanks Emily. I am going home this weekend and will hopefully get more
details. I have been rather caught up in my own life, but hopefully I can be
of help to her. I know she is seeing s doctor, but I am not sure if it is a
specialist.I will find out. She is in the Birmingham area which is the best
place for her to be if she is in Alabama, due to the UAB hospital and the
large number of available doctors. Thanks for your reply, it helps.
Niki
