> I know how stressed you are feeling. Not only was I having to deal with Zack

being sick and all the meds. and stuff he needs but also a husband who was like

a little child himself. He didn't want to help with any aspect of our life and

he messed up our finances so bad that we never had money for the things we

needed. So I finally got smart and decided to reduce me stress level. Of course

that didn't mean getting rid of the kids (joking- they are my life) so I got rid

of the husband(at least until he can prove that he is man and not a child). The

great thing is that my whole life seems to be easier now. Zack takes his meds

better, I feel less stressed Ki'a is eating better and getting big. I am so

happy now that I know my kids sense it and are doing better themselves. I know

this isn't always a good fix for most people but for my family it worked. Zack

is doing great now, he is so good about his meds and is real healthy and seems

to be gainin weight real good. I can't wait till our next clinic visit, I know

it will be a good one.

To those who can't reduce your stress the way I have (which is most, it took a

lot for me to walk out the door, just take a deep breath, scream if you must and

remember that you are not alone and if you need any to just come to the list and

we will all listen and help you deal with it. After all that is what we are here

for.
