I wanted to thank all of you for taking the time to reply to my post.
I'm taking your advice and won't be contacting my mom. I have been leaning this way, but, there's always that nagging doubt, in the back of my mind. I really do NOT want to screw up her family life.
Thanks again for helping me out with this. You guys and gals are great!
As for the medical info, well, life is pretty much a crapshoot anyway, isn't it?
