Thanks guys --- it makes me feel better that everyone feels that way. I mentiond it to mom MONTHS ago and she blasted me saying its not my decision to do that to her sister's family. Mom seriously fears my aunt would commit suicide if Denise was taken away from her. She's already threatened suicide many times over.... and the threats were taken seriously by all of us.

I saw mom today, and she updated me on my aunt's situation. My aunt had 99% blockage in one valve, 78% blockage in the other. Talk about being LUCKY TO BE ALIVE!!!

I agree Denise needs to FINALLY be taken care of. But I don't quite know what to do in this situation.
