Oh Liz. I am so sorry. I only replied to your earlier post a few hours ago. I know how much you wanted that miracle for her, especially a wish to share Christmas with her. I feel so bad for you. I know all your posts showed how much you loved her & I know the distance between you in miles faded away in your hearts. I am so sorry. Am sure u are busy organising flights. Take care dx
