Hi Sally;
Thanks for your kind words regarding Earl - but I am the blessed one. He has been a wonderful husband, good provider, and most of all - my best friend. He's been there for my ups and downs, and sacrificed for my family when he didn't have to. Yes - he served 27 months in Viet Nam - and I often wonder if that is where this illness came from.
We did go to see the Veterans representative - and were told that neither his MDS or either of the other 2 auto immune diseases he suffers from are 'on the list of recognized illnesses' - so it looks like we won't be getting any help there.
Again - have a great Memorial Day Weekend - and THANK YOU VETERANS - BOTH PAST AND PRESENT
