First, we would like to wish EVERYONE a very Merry Christmas. As most of you know, I started back to work last week and I feel pretty good. I wasn't sure I could get through a full week, but just getting back to work has made a world of difference. The feeding tube took a little while to start getting me back on my feet, but it certainly was a life-saver. It gave me enough nutrients to get me over that hump and now I can definetly see a great improvement. I no longer have to have fluids through an IV and the dizziness has subsided. I am starting to eat more through the mouth too. Having no taste-buds doesn't make that task very easy, but I am determined. I am definetly on the road to recovery. On the other hand, many of you may not know, but now we have another obstacle to overcome. My son, Jaron, has been diagnosed with a rare disease and we will be heading down to Pittsburgh to meet with a doctor that is more familiar with what he has. I don't want to go to deep into what he has until we learn more from the docs. Unfortunatley, it is so rare that we have to travel to get treatment. Hopefully, the outlook will be good and my wonderful family can get back on track. I know I have said this before, but I have the most caring and loving family and friends. There hasn't been a day that has gone by that I don't think about the great things that so many people have done and the hearfelt prayers that so many people have said. Patti and I are the luckiest people and we will never forget what you all have done for us. We love you all very much. Thank you so much for everything.
