Hi there, we already have something in common.......our love of chihuahuas!!! I have one called Coco. When I feel out of control I give her squeeze and a kiss and somehow I feel better for a moment..........do it lots and you feel better for heaps of moments!

Rely on the small things......thats what gets you through. HIV is nasty. One of our close friends is HIV+. So I understand the uncertainty and fear. Medicine is much better now at staving off the bug. He will do well.

I will pray for your brother to see his way safely through this journey, I will pray for you whilst you are providing support to your brother and healing for your surgery and to your family for the support they will need to give in the future.

Good Luck
