SamYouAre, you are to be commended for doing the right thing, despite the mistreatment from your friend's relations. Do not be discouraged by that. Simple to say, I know. But in your heart you, too, know you're doing the right thing.

I'm no doctor, and I don't have any specific knowledge about liver disease. I do have my share of first hand experience of hospitals and sick loved ones and of the agony of helplessness. I'll give Rick a few non Pentacostal prayers, but I'll still have plenty left over for you as well. You may be absent from the board but you'll be on our minds and in our hearts. Be strong.
