SutterCane,
my thoughts are with you and your family during this time. Life certainly does have a way of showing us where the real priorities in life are.

I wondered if you might try contacting Axiom on these. If they are in such good shape, maybe they would consider giving you a deal and taking them back due to extraordinary circumstances. That would be unusual, but if you're in that big of a pinch, it might be worth a try.
