Thanks, Mary

It's very reassuring to hear that Mike's done so well! I noticed that most of the doctors I've seen in the past year tend to take a more common sense approach than the sterile environment advocated in older publications. One of my doctors said it's because they've discovered that most of the ill effects come from organisms that are already residing in the patient rather than from external sources.
