Good wed. morning dear ladies. We have made it back safe and sound from PIR and what a weekend! It was so great being able to see our son and spend so much time with him! He is in THU for this week to have some dental finished then will move on to P'cola! So we had extra time with him, the rest of the guys going left Fri and Sat! The cercmony was awe inspiring and it moved my hubby to tears! (Viet Nam Sailor) I was a blubbering fool from the minute I saw our son! He was not involved in the performance, but was in the ward room. He said he had a nice visits w/ Rear Admiral Lynde and Camp Commander Bethke! Then he had to go back to his ship and pack up to move to the THU. Long afternoon but sooo worth every minute!
Our prayers are with all affected by these terrible storms and Tornadoes! Hope all are safe!
Connie, I pray that this Dr is the answer you have been looking for! It took almost 3 yrs for one to Diagnose a rare condition I have. Keep praying and be hopeful. you are in my prayers!!
Thanks to all of you for your support for our SR now Sailor this past couple of weeks!! Hugs to all of you!

friends, thank you all for the support. the last several months have been very very difficult on Sissy and the whole family. it had to get to a point where changing doctors was without question, a necessity. a "fresh set of eyes" has renewed our hopes. no doubt the next weeks and months will be bumpy but at least we think we "smooth sailin" ahead of us!!!

Just left new doc...she's on top of this! Sissy LOVES her!

Connie - Good Luck with new Dr....fingers and toes crossed; all of them and I'm having a hard time typing to...LOL
Punkinbaby - thanks for the insight...I will suggest he talk to travel tomorrow before he goes in for Yeoman duty.
