Hey Rabbitnyc!

You are good man to not let on to your wife that you are nervous too! Keep sending her that positive energy, let her know everything is gonna be alright, because it will. Keep that positive thinking and thanks for the tip you gave me a few weeks back, calling that number made all the difference for my husband and myself! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife! :star:
