thanks so much for all those prayers
we are seeing a glimmer of light in the tunnel as we heard on Friday that the venue where most of our income came from will be re-opening for 2 months(Nov/Dec) in the old format and then in a new format as of Jan 2009, so we are hopeful that will help alleviate the financial woes some, tho being realistic about the economic scenario at present and so also exploring other avenues
my hubby is still not doing well

but at least now under care of a specialist that we are impressed with so I am hopeful...more extensive tests have been ordered and he will be further evaluated Nov 13th after those results are in to discuss treatment options.
thanks again for all the care and prayers
