hmmm, remember way back when I said about half of the patients with EC develop lactose intolerance? Well Hooray!  I am in that half. ( oh joy...) I switched to lactose free milk in moderation and it makes the world of difference to my tummy.

I am actually doing really great right now. Two days in a row I have done morning routine, gotten the kids off to school, picked them up, and did all their homework and therapy with them all by myself! 

But then comes the fun part. Nathan is LOVING the book The BFG  I am reading to him for books and stories. Jonah and Ben are just loving having the  mom bedtime routine back in place. Daniel is reading Holes and I get so tickled because he begs to read "just one more chapter Mom PLEEEEEASE....". I love to see that excitement for reading.

Wish me luck to keep up this good streak. By the end of the day I am pretty exhausted, but hey, even when I was 100% well, I was pretty tired by the time I crawled into bed each night.

Its all good. I just love finally seeing marked improvement  ~ well other than the not eating thing, but hey, that will come in time and I have the feeding tube to make sure I get nutrition, so how can I complain :).
