The Incredible Hulk got a Gamma scan.
Oak and Trish, it all sucks. I am sorry that the normal bumps in the road have been so much more for you guys. I know your strength has been tested so severely. I admire you both for your candid honesty and for showing me just how trivial my challenges really are. If I can offer nothing else, please know that I will be hoping things ease up very quickly. Take care of yourselves!
You are both amazing and I know everything will turn out well in the end...we are here for anything you need!
