Update!

Update since the last post! I've lost an additional 4 pounds since being discharged from the hospital. I finally decided that the only way get any kind of relief is to try nearly every home remedy out there. Sea Bands are really providing some kind of relief. Benjamin had two birthday parties this weekend and I was able to go to both of them. Lots of coworkers were there-so we were able to catch up on all the new changes that we will have this year at school. Benjamin enjoyed being able to see many of his friends!  I haven't worked at all the past few weeks, I've become really good at laying in bed all day long. Hoping things improve-I have to go back to work in less than a month (August 12th) and I am really going to need to get my butt in gear to make it through the days there. I have an appointment tomorrow, the 29th, and August 1st. I'm hoping to be completely better by the 1st.  We still haven't told extended family or friends (or the kids) about the new development--I had to go back to blogging in order to keep the journal of my thoughts through this.
