" You and Dave will be in my prayers, Andrea. It is really tough when something like this happens when someone is having a very long recovery... and it doesn't help when you have health problems yourself. It's really hard to see someone so close to you in profound discomfort and peril. Try to get as much rest as you can-- something it's easy to neglect in a crisis.

Please post back and tell us how you guys are doing.
