Thank you so much!!!

As you all know I have been in crisis mode since we found about James' prognosis.

The last time I had checked the polls there was someone who was beating me by over 50 votes. I had campaigned hard....some of you may know why I campaigned so hard and I thank you for your votes. It really touched my heart that you cared. If you don't..I still appreciate the votes! AND ALL THE WONDERFUL COMPLIMENTS!

Suffice it to say I was okay with not winning..I had so many more important things to think and talk about.

Your outpouring of love, prayers, and thought about James really lifted my spirits.

I cannot tell you how much it means to me that we have never met and yet you treat this situation as if it were your own family member!

The future may be unknown to me but it this unfortunate situation has already brought about many small miracles which I could not have foreseen. I am speaking to one of my brothers now. My mother in law is coming up for Christmas. And other things that are more personal. Your prayers have been heard. We need to keep them going. James goes for testing next week. I more than likely will be out there with him along with my husband. Please pray really hard that he qualifies for the non FDA approved sleeve. We still have huge hurdles after that but this first step is so crucial. It looks like James will be able to spend Christmas with us. It's hard to glance at the clock because every minute that goes by is one minute less. I don't know why James is sick...all I know is that there is a reason for it even though I may not be able to fathom why.

I might not be around much this month but I want you all to know that you are in my heart....and that of my family.

Much love,

Christine
