Dave, I'm glad to hear you still have your job and that Ava is doing better! That is so wonderful to hear!
I've been through many donw-sizings, right-sizings, RIFs, Layoffs, etc. Whatever you call them, they all hurt. I've been the one laid-off, and I've been the one telling people they no longer have a job. None if it is fun. It's hard when you put so much effort into your job then are rewarded with a downsizing. It's hard even if you aren't let go. It's just hard all around. I feel for you there.
I hope things go well and that your product really takes off.
Best of luck going forward, and I hope and pray that Ava continues to improve and never looks back!
Kim
