[tri-med] Re: Karen-apnea (Chris)

Wow, Chris!  This is kind of one of those good news/bad news tales, 
isn't it?  Good news that you can do something to help Mari, but bad in 
that it means surgery.  So it looks like this surgery would be 
something they can do fairly "easily"?  That would be wonderful.
Praying for you all and definitely keep us posted!
