My neighbor received some good advice from her doctor regarding her recovery from cancer treatments that applies equally in your cases too, I think. You may not be able to tell how much you've improved on a daily basis. You'll have good days and bad days. But if you look back over the time period of a week, you'll notice how far you've come. I eagerly look for any updates in this thread. I wish there was something I could do to help both of you get through this. If a big fuzzy slanket would help, I'd gladly send one to you! I think though that part of the process in situations like this is learning how to get through stuff on your own. Not without support from others, but accomplishing it for yourself. If that makes any sense at all. If not, just know many are thinking of you often!
