Update

I am so happy to report that I am almost at the end of my recovery. We are so very thankful! My energy is back, I can eat more things, I don't need medicine as often, things are altogether 100% better than they were just 5 months ago.

Thank you to those who were supportive during this time. It means so much to have people understand and care about me (and Richie). While you would think everyone would be supportive of someone who is sick, they are not. This is a lesson I had to learn the hard way, but it made me appreciate those who are supportive that much more. So a million thanks to everyone who listened, called, emailed, prayed and was just all around wonderful. I am truly blessed!
