[tri-med] Re: Genevieve & surgery

Thanks for the update, Pamela.  Keep us posted on things as they 
progress!  We'll definitely be praying for all of you--particularly for 
all the get-up-and-go Genevieve needs to push through this surgery 
quickly.  Keep focusing on the goal--how well she'll sleep and progress 
when she's breathing well.
