I would say over all I am thrilled about the progress and even success of this website. We've been up and running maybe a month and we have almost 500 hits, visits from 11 countries and 36 states. It blows my mind.

There is only one part that bums me out. When developing this site with Dana, I had talked to my sister about it and it was her idea to provide an outlet, if you will, for friends and family. I guess, according to her, she felt like she couldn't help me, and also that there wasn't really a resource for her as a family member of someone with MS.

So here is my ploy for entries from your friends and family. I will rarely ask you, as readers to do anything. But in this whole process of my MS ride, to be totally honest I never really though about how it effects the others in my life. I do more so now, but in the beginning, I never thought about how my mom took it, or what she thought to herself.  I was consumed in myself.

I'd like to help out other "caregivers" *** and maybe even find a way to help ourselves in the process.

So please, tell your friends and family to email me some letters, stories, tales, suggestions. Anything from their point of view.  Thanks!

***Lets also think of another name besides "caregiver" I really really hate that term.
