Hi Everyone!

This feels like a homecoming...I'm back and happy to report that my brother finally got out of intensive care last week, and unbelievably is back at home. The Neurologist told us to expect a 100% recovery in about three months time. It's just unbelievable - from almost losing him so many times to this. Thank you all for wonderful words of encouragement and prayers!

Now I feel I can get back to focusing on SB and losing weight and being part of this awesome community! Hopefully it won't be hard to find my 'groove' again on Phase 2. I look forward to us all getting to our goal weights!

Christina

Glad you are back!

I'm glad about your brother. I haven't been following this thread and don't know what happened to him but I'm very happy for you and your brother and family!

Good luck with your continued weight loss efforts.

Thanks for the kind words. My brother collapsed on June 30th with a brain aneurysm which caused major hemorraghing of the brain. He had a 50/50 chance of making it. This was my second brother who experienced this, so my family and I were on pins and needles to say the least. Last night, we had a family dinner and my brother was able to make it - so we beleive in miracles considering he was just in intensive care only last week!
