Deborah.....As a New York native, I'm here to tell you that once you get a New Yorker involved, watch out.....ha! ha! everything moves faster in the BIG CITY (except for the traffic)..... it's a whirlwind....it's fast talk, fast paced, etc., etc., etc. And, you're learning how they do it after all you just had a quick trip to NY and now are turning around and going back again fast... It's great, they're going to do their thing for you so quickly..that means there will be less time for any more damage to happen.....Remember you said it usually took four months to get where you are...well, did you ever think that saying your case was "critical" was the only way they could use the operating room that had been previously booked for four months ........and your faith in God will get you through this...remember what we said, life is a journey...sit back and enjoy the ride...leave the driving to the doctors and the Good Lord that has the map and will guide them. Prayers are good and you have tons of people prayiing for you and Robert...and you'll do fine.
