I wanted to step forward and announce that I am attending the Symposium... it's official. Unfortunately for others, this means that Oracle person will also be attending. In all seriousness, because of the generosity of two people, not only will I be goint to St. Louis but this will ensure that Rocky will be treated promptly for his early onset adrenal. Sean's Rocky is having early and vague symptoms of adrenal. I've been deciding which of the four options to pursue with him as his situation is complicated by one special little boy (Sean). I had just recently decided that it would most probably choose surgery. I was trying to think of a way to attend the symposium, treat Rocky as quickly as possible, and also not take money from house payments, etc. this spring. But slowly, as you've been reading, the puzzle pieces have come together. Because of the second donor, I don't have to turn down the gift of the person who first came forward enabling me to have transportation to the Symposium (and vice versa). I would have really felt bad doing that. It was only getting harder to decide what to do ... delay treatment of Rocky since he's not even lost hair yet or turn down the initial donor. I was really, really struggling. It only got more difficult as someone who shall not be named (Judy), semi announced that it was probable that I would be attending the symposium. I didn't know what to say or do quite frankly. Believe me, if I had known for fact that I was attending from the beginning, I would have been singing it from the rooftops. To those two anonymous donors ... you didn't just enable me to go to this great event. In essence you relieved a lot of stress for me because you are also donating towards Rocky's early treatment. Please don't take that poorly readers. Please. You know I'd never deny Rocky anything if there was an immediate problem. I hope I'm explaining this right so that you'll understand. Well, that's it. I don't know what else to say. What can I say under these stunning circumstances? Wolfy http://wolfysluv.jacksnet.com [Posted in FML issue 4774]
