[Steppes] Wormy?

[Jewell Wainwright]

I believe Wormy has the same disease as my mother,
endochronitis (forgive my spelling).  She first
contracted it about 20 years ago and was in the
hospital for 5 weeks.  Doctors told her then that she
would have to be very careful because it could come
back.  In late August (this year), she recognized
symptoms and went back to the doctor, and sure enough
she had it again.  The bacteria attacks the heart
valves first, and although she has not required
replacement surgery like Wormy, she does have
permanent heart damage.  Even without the heart
surgery, she has been in and out of the hospital since
August.  It is a long tiring recovery as high powered
antibiotics are given by IV for weeks on end!
I wish Wormy a full recovery but know that it will be
anything but speedy.
