I have been posting my updates on facebook letting you know how I have been doing with my UC. Today was my first day on my own with Alexandra and it went really well. We had breakfast and lunch in the living room since I still need to be sitting other wise I become really dizzy. Alexandra is such a trooper. She played with her toys and watched TV when I had to take my multiple trips to the bathroom. I'm so grateful she is able to entertain herself.
I keep telling myself that she won't remember all the TV and Mommy not being able to do much. VJ has been amazing through this whole ordeal. He has worked from home for most of the last 3 weeks to take care of Alexandra and myself. He has been to all of my doctor appointments and has helped with all the research of different treatment options. He has been my rock. Thank you Honey I love you.
My mom and dad have also been my source of comfort. Mom was down here 10 days helping with Alexandra and make sure the house didn't fall apart. She comes back this weekend to help for another week. Thank you Daddy for letting mom come down and take care of me. Even though I'm 31 I still really wanted my mommy to comfort me when the pain was too much=).
All I can do now is take this illness one day at a time. Today is a good day. I am grateful I can start counting them and not just see the long weeks of bad days.
Cheers
Katie
