This is amazing. KC, thank you for entrusting the MobileRead world with this trial in your life. MOTH, thank you for the update. I tuned in to this thread too late to reply any sooner than this, I'm not insensitive, my reading speed has slowed that much.
The prognosis sounds positive, and I am sure the prayers and positive thoughts of all who have commented here (and those too overcome with emotion to do so) for both of you will continue thought your recovery.
