It is good to hear from you V! You are still in my prayers. Things will get better. Have you heard of Rescue Remedy? Maybe that would help Cheri if you give it to her before you go. It is a Bach product you can get at the healthfood store. It is for people and pets!

It is on sale on this site (below) and is much cheaper than I have gotten at my local health food store.
