- Last night Josh had a fever so they took cultures (drew blood) to determine what was causing the fever so they could determine what kind of antibiotic to use. He seems perkier today than he did yestereday-----may be also because my mom's here to...
- Josh and I are here together at the hospital. Tom left a couple of hours ago for a fund raiser but will be back tomorrow. Last night was rough for Josh. He had a lot of vomitting and diarrhea and was just miserable. Tom and Ihad taken a walk...
- I'm at the hospital with Josh and he is doing well this morning. He can now eat and drink and he had some breakfast. His dizziness is gone and the doctors say his labs look good. He is now playing on his laptop and feeling good.
- Just wanted to update everyone on Josh's progress. This first week of chemo they gave him small doses to make sure he could tolerate it. Then next week they will give him big doses. The good news is the mass in his throat is shrinking so the...

- I know that tomorrow is an American holiday, but the spirit of gratitude is worldwide and can be shared by all.Okay, now I have to share something funny. We had our energy assessment today from the electric company and Josh and I were supposed to...
- Today is my mom's birthday and I have a card and a gift to give her, so she is at the old house meeting a client but will be at her new house later where I will meet her. Saturday we did two walks and it felt great! Also yesterday I got Josh to...
- Hi Iam new here although I do spend a lot of time at the depression group. I already recognize some people here from other groups so it's nice to already see some familiar faces. Here's my situation: It really doesn't take much for me to feel...
- I don;t' really have a lot planned today other than see my mom at some point and maybe go to the clubhouse if I get some clothes washed before hand. Also still reading the book about ADHD and maybe if I can really get myself going I will take a...
- I'm trying to have a positive attitude, especialy around others but it's hard. My brain seems to naturally go back to focusing on something negative. My life really isn't that bad. I have loving, supportive friends and family and yet I remain...
