Thank you so much for the thoughts and hugs. It really has helped to know there's people out there who care as we went through everything. It was just such a rollercoaster, and still will be, I imagine.

And also thanks for the advice--you're definitely right. Even just one day of being able to be up at the hospital less and home a little more has done a lot. Getting to the things I was putting off and setting aside, as well as just little ways of recharging physical and mental energy, I can feel the difference. Definitely a good thing, since I know we'll need to be there for her again as she deals with recovery and the changes in her illness.

Anyway, ♥ and many *hugs* back.
