Thanks Lenora. I guess it doesn't always help to be aware of a situation before you go into it... sometimes it only hits you a while later. It must be so hard on them not to have her around where they can be more directly involved in her healthcar, and give her the cuddles she needs - can you imagine being a 12yr old girl who is HIV+ without parents to support you?!?! No wonder poor Danna is so shellshocked, even though she must have known it would happen sooner or later. Doesn't make it any easier does it.

I think I'll be hoping they get a little good news this Christmas because they sound as if they could do with it.

Kerri.
