Hey Nina, Bless your heart. $1400 is a lot of money not to know what you're dealing with still. I would be frustrated and feeling a bit defeated too. I just want to encourage you to keep on with the good fight, and hopefully Spencer will just heal spontaneously and surprise you! We all know here that miracles do happen, even in the midst of all the chaos. Please keep us posted on what your internist says.
