Seeing her alert, with good color and feeling more well was wonderful. Getting treatment started has boosted her spirits. She can speak some now and is tolerating her "meals" so she'll have more energy soon.
I can't thank you all enough for the prayers. She has many long, hard days ahead but we'll take a good one when we can get it.
For all of you who have offered help. We are so grateful! For now, Chris is trying to build a new sense of normal for his family, and that means leaving a little bit of structure in place. We all know that we could reach out at anytime and there are so many of you who would be there. If we need to, we will make that cry for help. None of us are tapped out yet, and as anyone who has cared for an ill loved one knows, you run on previously unknown reserves of energy and luckily we are all still doing well.
Here's to hoping for more good days soon!
