Happy 30th Birthday Emily!! You have been a great friend to me, and a great friend to the forum, see how many people stayed up late to wish you a happy birthday?! --I wanted to, but my CVS had a different idea of what to do a midnight! I wish you a wonderful year, and actually a wonderful new decade ahead! I read your new blog yesterday and LOVED it! I think it was a God moment that brought us together too! Sharing 7 POTS years, surgery et al, and I have a truly wonderful friend, despite the ugly reason that brought us together! I only hope you start to improve soon, and sort of get back on track with me! Year 7 was our worst, can 8 bring some serious changes for the BETTER? You seem to be finding new avenues that could lead to answers, and if anything, we always know we have HOPE! And I know neither of us will let that go! I hope Asher gives you b'day kisses! And you have a wonderful day Miss Emily! I am thinking of you! And uh, this may make you smile too, even though it makes me more sick than CVS!...........way to go PENN STATE!! Take care -Steph
