Wow, I missed this thread as well. Hugs Emma and am so sorry to hear that people are so horrible. Like janine said, they must be pretty rotten to see all the kiddie stuff and still take it...
Anyway, hope everything gets sorted soon and Mercedes is feeling better. But on a good note, all the 'real life' help you've been getting from the lovely ladies on here is what I love about OB, its so great
