We also made good progress on getting rid of the weeds. Hopefully some of the tests scheduled for my wife this week will start to yield some clues that let us make progress into her health issues.

Her regular doctors have been chasing this for awhile and are not making any progress so based on the recommendation from friends, she called and got this appointment.

At the end of the day, they had several more appointments added to our updated itinerary. They gave us clear instructions for next steps and contact information in case we have any questions before the next appointment. I think that this could be the start of finding the root cause of her health problems. One reason is that everyone is on the same page and has access to the same information. ...
