Craig, I just don't know what to say. Others have already said it all. Joyce and I will be saying extra prayers for you this morning at church. As has been mentioned, attitude and stubborness will always improve the results. A good example would be Mom. Earlier this week we went with her for her 6 month visit after the pancreatitus and the Dr told us that she was very suprised to be able to see her. She didn't really expect Mom to survive since she is 84 and the severity of the attack. The only thing that the Dr. thinks got her through is the fact that Mom is VERY stubborn and basically told all the Dr's involved that they were lying. My advise is to be stubborn, take all the treatments suggested, enjoy life, and visit the church of your choice often.
