Hi Dani,
Great news about your mom! Glad to see that she's starting to see and feel the affects of recovering. As everyone has mentioned before, recovery is a long and sometimes very slow process. When I get discouraged thinking that I'm not progressing fast enough, all I have to do is think back to last July when I started this journey and I think, WOW!, I really have come a long, long way from where I began. Tell your mom to keep up the good work and God bless you for being there by her side every step of the way. She is truly blessed to have you in her corner and helping her through not only the bad times, but there to experience all the good things that are happening now (especially shopping - that's a real picker upper!).
Keep smiling and a hug to your mom,
Nancy
