Tolerance Induction Program Visit #3
The last 2 visits came and went uneventfully which is what we want! Honestly these appointments are a little anti-climactic when you consider all we have to go through to get from Chicago to California. All of the planning, expenses, time off work, etc. But the goal is for the […]
