Well Over Due Mood
Thursday, December 4, 2008 | A General Update story

Hello  to all my friends here. It has been way to long for an update here. I have been crazed to say the least over the past two months. Last update we were looking at the possibility of galbaldder. Well that wasn't it. What it turned out to be was gastro-parisises. It would seem that between the all of the medication that Les is on in concert with the MS she is unable to digest solid foods at the same rate as person without MS. the gastro emptying test showed that 4 hours later she still had 80% of her food in her stomach. Needless to say she lost 20 lbs (20 lbs that she did not need to loose). And the kicker is that it will take now three times as long to put it back. This is something that does happen to individuals with MS so it is just another thing to add to the list.

   Well she is home now and we are trying to get her back on the mend. Wewant to start our MS Support Group in november but with her back in the hospital we are having our first meeting tomorrow night. We  beleive this is going to be a really good thing and we are looking forward to providing support not only to the individuals with the condition of MS but also the caregivers. The caregivers often are over looked. They carry a great burden and are many times even more frustrated than the person affected.

     We are going to meet once a month in Middletown Delware and after the new year  We will be in Dover
