I am much better now. I have actually been able to get some nutrients in my system today and feel a whole lot better. Not near as much as I should, but I am getting there. I have made it a goal of mine to at least get up to 1500 calories and then work from there. If it wasn't for many of you I do not think I would have got out of my little funk. I did get a break today and tomorrow cause of the swelling of my uvula. The RO was concerned that it would only get worse and block off my airway. He is going to check it again on Wednesday to make sure the swelling has gone down. Leave it to me to go to the extreme on things. I am very good at that. My parents are here until Wednesday and they have been a great help with the kids and have also helped me get out of my funk. We are doing Christmas with them tomorrow afternoon. My brother and grandpa are coming up to. I am excited to get to see them as i was afraid I was not going to be able to, but my Grandpa was chomping at the bit to come see me for Christmas. SOrry it was so long, but my spirits are better, and I believe that I am going to make it now. You guys are awesome.
