First, I want to thank all of my fellow chippers for their prayers for my wife (and for me too). I can not express how surprised we were with the amount of replies and emails. I told my wife, that families all over the world are praying for her .... she was touched by your support.

Brandy is still in the hospital. She is doing well. She has had many different tests completed: including a CAT SCAN, EKG, Ultra-Sound, a scope of her stomach, liver tests and is waiting on the all important MRI of her brain. We are hopeful that with all these tests, the trusted doctors and your prayers will bring good results.

In terms of chipping ...

Prior to her admittance to the hospital, I listed some chips on eBay ... some end in less then a day or so and others end on Sunday (many I have never made available before) and there is two that a fellow chipper asked if I really wanted to sell because he valued them quite high .... I intend to sell them for whatever highest bid they get .... many casino chips, but also many hard to find non-casino-chips.

Thanks again for the replies and emails .... it meant a lot to our family and got me to get through these tough days.
