Robyne and Intergel

Dear Jo and everyone else, If I remember correctly Robyne was very sick after her surgery and was in the hospital in serious/critical condition. I remember this because everyone else seemed to be doing so well. There were around four people to get operated on at the same time from Australia and I remember Robyn needed extra prayers and we were very worried about her. I don't know if this had any relationship to the intergel or not. I've left everyone else's messages on this reply so they can follow the story and have it make sense. Love, Sally
