Yes Christine, my mom and sister will take turns flying out to keep me on my schedule and help me out. I have meals being brought in by friends for 8 weeks, so I don't need to worry about them or my husband. Also I have a driving team. I am so incredibly thankful. I started out saying, I didn't want to be a burden, but my friends would not hear any of it. I can't imagine you not having someone to help you, I don't have any words for that. I find your determination so admirable. It encourages me.
