I just want to let you guys know that you are an inspiration for me and maybe others here in this group. Your dedication to Meltie and patients in all of this are phenominal. I may have craked at this point. I am not all that good taking care of the critically ill. I give you much credit for hanging in there are well as you have. I know in the end it is worth it. But I think most of the credit seems to lean in Meltie's own direction. She is a great trouper in all of this. Sometimes I wonder if Elwood would have been the same if only I hadn't....well, anyway. It is all done now. No use thinking about the past. Hats off to Meltie for what she has gone through. I wish you all the best and may she live to see many more days if that is what she wants. She seems to have a remarkable ability to speak to you and I hope she continues to do so. When her time comes, may it be as peaceful as can be. I know I have never met her and I will miss her! I also hope that the family issues mellow out. I know how ishy that can be when you have a critically ill kid at home. I went through a similar situation once and it is no fun. May you get some peace from them. Peace. -Pamela (Who misses her Elwood and Ferris something terrible.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (*)````````````(*) MsPea and YS in Los Angeles, California \ /Their kids, The Baby Baloo & Negrita.
