Hi Lisa and Minniea,

Today was a not good ending to a not good week that began with the trip to the ER last Thursday. Jeff is officially beginning use of the PEG tomorrow and also starting to wear a pain patch. I am thinking that there is a bottle of zoloft somewhere with my name on it. I'm so angry at myself for becoming so stressed and tired that I caught the flu, letting down Jeff and the kids in the caretaker department, apparently adding the straw that broke the camel's back for my oldest who had her first anxiety attack in months last night. Feel like I have been stressed for 2 years now, starting with the date of Jeff's original diagnosis and continuing straight through to today.

It was very comforting to read your posts because it reminded me that this too shall pass. I can't wait for the day when I will have your perspective. You both sound like you are so strong.

American Idol is a huge hit in our house too, although unfortunately NOT with Jeff. The girls and I wouldn't miss a minute each week. (Lena is a big Chris fan! I like alot of the contestants this year.) Right now, it's one of the highlights of my week.

Anyway, thanks for your words of welcome and support. Tomorrow will be the halfway point for Jeff's treatments. One day at a time, I know we will get through this.
