Luckily my village showed up. My entire family stepped it up for me in a big way. My mom came to deliver food, pick-up and drop-off prescriptions, my cousins came to clean, my son's dad came by each day to bathe and get my son ready for bed and his bag packed for school the next day, my brother would baby sit so I could rest. Initially I thought wow this is going to be rough, but my family and friends truly provided a strong support system.
