OMG that is wonderful to hear that he is doing better and I am sure that with lots of TLC at home he will improve so much faster. I am so sorry to hear that the house has gone to the dogs LOL and I am very sorry to hear you lost so many of your hens, but spring is coming and you never know what...
I am very happy to hear that your DH is getting better and that you have a family unit there to give you help and some time to get a few things done for yourself I am sure they are a great help and comfort to your kids also.
I totally understand that you dont want to give out your address/number...
