 The joy of Christmas stays here inside us...fills each and every heart with love...     ~Mariah Carey

I have not updated my profile in a while. Life has been a bit crazy which is only natural at this time of year. The most profound thing going on is my son's health. He is just not doing well. He is sick all the time and coughs all night. We brought him to an allergist and found that he is allergic to everything. Since then he has been on and off antibiotics, Prednisone and still has nebulizer treatments several times a day. My PCP says that he has, "Daycare Syndrome" but he has been out of day care for a week now and is not at all better. Today he is being taken for an x-ray of his neck to see if he has problems with his adenoids. Then it is back to the specialist tomorrow. First and foremost, I hate that he has to live with this. It is too much for a just-turned-two year old. But it is taking its toll on me and my husband, too. My husband is miserable and moody and I am just plain exhausted. I have bought every single Christmas gift and wrapped every single thing on my own this year...often late into the night. And we both work full-time so I am totally wiped out...physically and emotionally.

But...having said that, I am so thankful for this year. It has been life-changing in all positive ways. Unfortunately, I have been eating such crap lately...cookies, chocolate, etc. I'm not drinking water...not doing protein...but, thankfully, my weight is holding steady and I will definitely get back on track after Christmas. This year has been beautiful and I feel so blessed that I was able to have this surgery.

And now I want to say to my January 2006 board that I hope you all have a very, very Merry Christmas and I pray that all of your dreams come true in 2007. I love you all! God bless!!
