Kids are handling things as well as can be expected. Really, they just don't go to as many martial arts classes as they would if I weren't sick. That's a small sacrifice. I'm amazed that my spouse has taken over the stuff that I normally use to do... the meals, the grocery shopping and the driving the kids to lessons etc. I think he's got a whole new respect for what I've been doing the last 15 years of marriage. The "behind the scenes" stuff he didn't realize was so exhausting or time consuming. He's also having fun because he's having to do more with the kids.

The flem is really bad in the mornings. I'm down to 104 pounds, but I'm holding steady. I try to work in the PEG feeding for when I've yakked myself out between attacks. I'm just so weary of being on my knees trying to get some stuff I really don't want to see out of me.

I'm going to be a sport and give it more time to let up. I just wish I had a "feel good" point. Half the time I'm surprised I made it this far, but man.....I'm not about to take feeling good for granted anymore.

I just wish I could predict a day that I can say "hey.. I feel good"

Maybe that will come in a couple months.
