*I wanted to write and thank all of you who have sent me private emails re: the Devic's patient from the Netherlands. Currently her neuros are conferring with the Mayo Clinic and her present treatment has been affirmed. Yesterday, she was put on a trach, and was able to speak for the first time in over 3 weeks. It was a glorious moment for her husband. I continue to hold out great hope for her recovery.* ** *None of this would have occurred without the help of our Heather. Thanks to her prompt response to this plea, we were able to arrange a consultation in short order. It would be wonderful if this world had more people like her---people who aren't afraid to get their feet wet, and who have such great compassion for others. Heather, I will be forever grateful to you for calling this woman to my attention, as otherwise, it might have been some time, before I became aware. Her husband had also written to our resource group after writing to the TMA forum, but I had neither recieved, nor seen it at that time. Thanks to Heather, we were able to get the ball rolling quite quickly. * ** *Again, huge thank yous to all of you for your concern and prayers re: this matter.* ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] *
