So sorry Liz has to go through this!  I think sometimes that the only way we get through it the first time is thinking that we will be done!  My heart goes out to her and I will be praying and thinking about her for Tuesday.

Sending positive thoughts. What a terrible thing to have to endure this again in such a short time. My heart is with her family right now. Please let this be over and let her get on the road to recovery. I am pacing....I will keep checking to see how things are. Liz I am praying for you. Big Hug!
