David Rachel,
I am sorry to learn of your painful ordeal.  I am happy they were finally 
able to help you but I know that it was miserable for you.  One thing is for 
sure that our Lord was with you throughout the whole time.  It is His 
sustaining strength that gets us through those really tough times.  I will 
keep you in my prayers.  May the Lord bless you and your family richly.
Virgie and Hoshi
