    I’m keeping you in my prayers. I know you don’t know me, but I’d definitely offer help if I lived even remotely close. Hang in there!

    Your doing a great job…and your pregnant and your doing all of this by yourself…you deserve a reward or a spa day when he gets back LOL

    Hope the fainting spells don’t come back.
