Hi Lois I know it's a bit late but I do want to let you know I received your message about your mother. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you are doing alright. I know that the death of your mother must have brought a big change in your life and that you must miss her a great deal. I do pray that god will give you comfort when you need it. I have never checked with you to find out if Uncle Carl's DNA was of any help. Did it connect to any others on the list? Hopefully it gave some kind of a lead. I know that I mentioned my sons accident to you. Well he is not doing well at all. He had another surgery a couple of weeks ago. The bone in his leg is not healing. The doctors were able to order a bone stimulater which cost him $5,300.00 and the insurance will only pay $2,000.00. He was lucky though because the company agreed to write off the balance. He hasn't worked now for over 6 months. The bone stimulater didn't work, so they did a bone graff from his hip to his leg, put a metal plate around the bone and then put the screws back into his leg to pin it together. If this doesn't work then there is nothing left they can do. They will remove all bone between his knee and ankle and just put in a steel rod. But there can be problems with that also. He could get an infectiion and even lose his leg, but thats the worst that can happen and we hope it doesn't get to that point.. All we can do now is wait and hope that this bone graff takes. Hope everything else is going well for you. Take care Sylvia
