[tri-med] Re: Weight check results

Hope you can find some solutions about the weight, Janet!  I'm sure 
that's stressful!
I don't blame Hannah about not wanting to be back at the doctor's--not 
to mention being clingy!  Each time Keren's had to go in for surgery, 
it's taken about a week after getting home before she's willing to go 
to sleep without being held.  It was kind of nice to give her tons of 
cuddling, but it did make getting things done a little tricky!
