another bump

I received a letter from my doctor on Friday that she will be quitting her practice and moving to Mayo clinic in AZ- A little too far to go for paperwork updates (like 2400 miles). I hope the documents we have (and will update just before she leaves at the end of the month) will be suffiecient. Keeping hope that our dossier wil be sent very soon.
