Never fear.....I talk to Dawn-Marie at least once a week & she is doing okay, in fact, she had some promising news for me the last time we talked.
Seems like Dr. Gutierrez, her cardio, was able to talk to another doctor in Cleveland that is willing to look at her case again & maybe, maybe try to do something about her valve. She was waiting for Medicare to give her the go ahead & to get the last details worked out.
I am going to call her either today or tomorrow to see where things are & then I'll let you know. I think she still has problems w/her PC & it bogs down on her.
Until then, keep your fingers crossed & say some prayers that there is light at the end of the tunnel for her afterall.
