Exciting times. I appreciate the team's work on creating such high quality software. It doesn't feel like some random open source software. But it's always a work in progress, at the same time.
Your approach towards the situation might determine the life quality of you and your wife. I can't imagine how it's like to think in a logic way while you're in the middle of such of an emotional event.
