I am being discharged today! I want to Thank you, once again, for your generosity with accommodations for Beth. I am so dependent on her support when I am hospitalized that your providing a place for her while I am here is priceless to me. I would not survive if she were not here for support. I can't thank you enough.

I want to thank you again for helping my family and I through this. My mom and aunt and uncle had a great place to stay and relax while I was here in Boston this past Friday having my Pre Procedure Evaluation. These past few days have flown by and I think I am all ready for the big day, tomorrow. I feel so much better just knowing my mom and sister can be close while I am going through the surgery and recovery afterward.
