Dearest Nancy Lee, I am so thankful that you are home and doing as well as you are. Now listen up, you take care of yourself. We don't want another episode like this one. You are too important to us and to your family to lose you or have you so sick. Please take care of yourself first. I am praying for you and yes God does still perform miracles today. You are one.
