Posting an entire update would be far too daunting for this lady....  Rather, I'll post a list.

• After 32 blood draws, 8 stool samples, an EKG, 2 ultra sounds on my guts, a colonoscopy, and an upper endoscopy we have concluded that I have Celiac Disease.
• Because of this disease, it is very likely the reason Dominic did not survive.
• This feeling is very bittersweet.  I am happy to have an "answer", but sad that the only thing I had to have done is taken gluten out of my diet to have my guy here with me.
• This lifestyle change has been overwhelming, but empowering. Because of the change I have taken very well to learning how to cook - well.
• I am feeling very VERY healthy lately - thank god.  I was, literally, starving to death.
• I have been going to therapy once a week and am starting to learn to move forward.
• I have read countless books on grieving and am learning to embrace my loss and move through it.
• I am still sad - all of the time - but able to laugh, love, and keep him with me, everyday.
• I have been back to work for 3 weeks now and am happy to contribute to the house.  It feels good.
• I start school in one week and have finished most of my classes from the Spring semester.
• I buzzed my head - like, with a buzzer.  It was another Britney Spears freak out.  That is okay.
• Ray is working full time at Replicant and part time at the liquor store - and it's going very well.

Here is a beautiful song that has become our family song in our house.  It reminds me of Ray and Dominic.  I love it.
