Sunshine and I are home and while I am now a bit of a hinky parent (every mild complaint raises my blood pressure) we are and will be fine. We are all getting back into a normal lifestyle and a normal routine. Monkey has rebounded well. We will not know for certain if her infection is resolved for a full three months. Beautiful.
I am hanging out right below 260, anywhere from 257-259. I haven't been walking and my diet has been "irregular." So, I am just pretty thankful I maintained my weight. I think it is time to stop thinking about myself as a 300 pound person who lost 40 pounds and start thinking about myself as a 260 pound person (who needs to lose 40 pounds ). This has all pretty much resolved my fear that I will gain that 40 pounds right back. If I maintained through this, well, I can maintain through anything!
Here is a video http://us.video.aol.com/?pmmsid=1868984 who all have got to go see. Seriously. I really HOPE that teh movie is about acceptance. The child is clearly autistic-like or has social anxiety issues, but even if he is from, say, Mars, lets see a movie about what "a good question" it is about whether or not it is good to be like everybody else and being a little eccentric is not a bad thing.
After all, it takes us all a while to learn human being-ness.

Get better soon!!
I hope he gets better all the way soon. I know how hard it can be to have a child that is sick, hurting or just not theirselves. When my oldest had her surgery this summer, I felt so bad for her because she was hurting.
You will get back into the groove and start the big 40 pound loss! I can't wait to see it! I know I will be there with you soon!! :)
Its so good to see a new post! Heard from Molly too, she seems to be in alot of discomfort these days. Glad the hospital stay is over and hopefully a success! Hope this finds you returning to normal and losing like a mad woman! - Shelly
So nice to see your smiling face ( no new pictures?) anyway I will definitely go see the Martian Child - our "adopted"grandson , Andrew, whom I mentioned before is Autistic and he does live in a big box in his families living room! He is adorable and coming along great with the best parents, grandparents and supportive friends like us! Thanks for sharing and I hope you and your loved ones are well.
Hi! Hope your kids' health is steady and back to normal. I know you all have been through a lot. Hopefully it will go back to normal enough to join us back here and get your weightloss moving again! I am back a ready to share some walking stories and maybe a few Girl Scout stories too!
I hope you and the little one's are doing okay. I have been MIA for a while and am trying to catch up with everyone. Take care of yourself. Hope to here from you soon.
