On the topic of blood, I wanted to clarify something that I realized (belatedly) might have come across wrong. I was not implying that you should have just simply let your wife die. That is the furthest thing from my intention. Faith sometimes means simply trusting that someone else knows better than we do, and that is the case with blood. Please see the following articles to illustrate my point.-http://articles.philly.com/2011-01-11/news/27021883_1_blood-cells-cell-transplant-blood...

Rather, I trust that the one that made us knows damn well how we are put together and has told use the best way to live. Turns out, he was right and we are stupid. Go figure.
