I would like to say a special thank you to the following people.....

• My wife Kelly, who has been my greatest advocate through this whole ordeal. Her love is worth fighting for.
• My Mother, who has been my inspiration to fight this disorder after seeing her courage as she fought cancer for 10 years.
• My Dad for always being there for me, and my Stepmother for her understanding and kindness as we all go through this together.
• My Mother-in-law and father-in-law, for all of their prayers, time, and assistance (and the Iced Cafe Mocha's!).

To my siblings...

• Sheila (and Kevin, Connor, and Cole), for her hard work trying to understand this disorder when we had no diagnosis, and the research and help books.
• Bob (and Deanna), for numerous last second trips to fly out to be by my side as we struggled to get this disorder under control.
• Kristy, for always being my little Buddy. Talking with you has always lifted my spirits.

To my extended family...

• Thanks to all of you for all of the prayers, cards, letters and videos that have been sent. I am truly blessed to have a great family that comes together in a time of crisis.

To my very best friends...

• Dave, Leann, Doug and Kelly, few people are blessed with great friends like you. I cherish the times we have had together and look forward to many more.
• Mike and Stephanie, for all of the great advice, caring and knowledge that has made dealing with this disorder much easier (and for removing my staples!)

To the people at work...

• Paul, for believing in me and keeping a space for me. You are a great supervisor and a great friend.
• Jim, for having confidence that I will once again contribute to the section, and for all of the accommodations that have allowed my return to work.
• All of the Radio Products Staff, thank you for all of the kind words, cards and prayers. It truly lifted my spirits knowing that all of you were behind me.

To my doctors...

• Dr. Darin O., for taking a personal stake in finding what was wrong with me. Your dedication and hard work in diagnosing has tempered what could have been a much worse outcome.
• Dr. Eric P., for your expertise and willingness to listen to my numerous questions.
• Dr. Kevin O., for understanding my type of personality and helping me get back to feeling like myself.
