Hi Elaine!!

        I am happy to see you here!!
        We had talked Briana's surgery, but I must have missed the part
about Alex. You are going to have your hands full.
         As far as Briana's surgery goes - I would be interested in hearing
more about the actual surgery. I know this is not a decision you have made
lightly. Briana's really not old enough to understand all the implications.
Is there another child who has had this operation - she can talk, too? What
are her major concerns - is it something Amber can help with? We are only a
phone call away!

                                    Brightest Blessings and Hugs!!
                                               Trisha
