[QUOTE="Lil, post: 665779, member: 17309"] I think you did the right thing. I know you worry, I would too, but nagging (that's what he'd call it) would be counter-productive. Today he was able to be proud of himself for working and standing on his own two feet. Be proud with him. Reminding him would undercut that pride - I suspect the feeling would be, "No matter what I do she thinks I can't take care of myself." That's the opposite of the message you want to convey. I know how nerve-wracking the health situation must be...but he's doing well in other areas. Hopefully that will transfer to all the other aspects of his life. I haven't heard from mine now in about two weeks. I'm fighting the urge to text and just ask about how things are going...but I'm afraid to open the floodgates. :( I really, really wish I could have a "normal" conversation. Cherish it! [/QUOTE]
