Thanks, everyone! I had a wonderful trip. I totally wore myself out, but it was the right thing for me to do (because I never have dangerous symptoms like breathing trouble). Emotionally, I needed to be able to sweep in and take care of everybody--just for a couple of days. I felt like my old self for a while. It helped me understand a lot better how this disease is affecting me emotionally, which is half the battle.

And oh, what a beautiful baby!
