Janet, I was so taken aback by the words Potts Disease that I could scarcely get my breath. I have not heard that term in decades. As you might recall I told you that when she was a child my mother had Potts Disease and spent six years in a cast. She made an incredible recovery considering it was over eighty years ago. She and I are both so sorry and upset to hear of the diagnosis but, thank God, you found out early and are on medications that can help. I'm sure the treatment is far more advanced than when she was a girl. It is probably good that the medicene is making you sleep. Your body and mind need the rest to be in a good recuperative state. You know our prayers and thoughts, and love are with you.

I sent a packet of stuff a few days ago that I hope will give you a smile or two.

Hang in there, kid. Love, Karen
