Hi Monica, I was just thinking about this thread this morning. Thank you for checking in. You are often in my thoughts and prayers. You always have such a positive attitude and hopefully that will help both you and your husband through this difficult time. I agree it is better to look up then down. I am glad to hear that you are getting out more now. Remember your own words, if you don't take care of yourself, then you will not be able to help anyone. Yell if you need us. We will be here.

Happy 30 days. ((((((Hugs)))))) Remember to reward yourself. You deserve it. Monica thank you for the update. I am so glad to hear that you are able to take some time for yourself. Your day on Wednesday sounds wonderful. I am sure that your husband will enjoy spending time with his friend as well. Regarding his need for independence, you have the right approach. I know that it means a lot more work, but he probably needs to feel that he can do things for himself. I am sure that his self esteem and self worth really needs that right know. You are truly a silent angel going behind him to make everything right. I wanted you to know that I added your name to the request for support and prayers during my fast. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer and think the more the better. :) Have a wonderful weekend with your vistors and post when you can.

Monica, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Monica, happy birthday to you. One positive thing for today, you did not have to hear me sing happy birthday :) My kids cover their ears.

Please keep your faith and know that we are all here to listen any time. Also know that you are truly an inspiration. I know that you have motivated. Take care of yourself and keep posting. My prayers are with you and your husband.

Monica thanks for the update. I am glad that you did take the opportunity to get a little rest today. I would recommend that you rest as much as possible while he is in the hospital. There they have the staff to assist to his needs. Danielle had a great suggestion about respite care. It never hurts to have a back up plan. Also remember your words from early this week. If you don't take care of yourself, then you will not be any good to anyone. My family is praying for your family.

Monica, I know that all we can do to help right now is listen and pray for both you and your husband. Please know that you have a lot of people doing both.
