Hi from Adriana

Dear Sheila: I'm sorry to hear you're not doing well.

Chicken soup has always work for me, try it please, if it doesn't do the trick at least it won't hurt you.

I remember my mom would boil a whole- cut- up chicken and add a lot of vegetables to the mix. Delicious.

Also, at age 14 my daughter was diagnosed with mononucleosis, the doctor prescribed-believe it or not- to eat as many as 3 times a day Rammen noodles soup or the one that comes in a cup and you just add water. I believe is the high amount of sodium each of these soups contains that do the trick. She was able to resume school activities in no time.

Please get well, you have been and continue being my inspiration. You were the first one to answer to my emails when I was so afraid and did not know what to expect, which way to go, decisions to make, etc.

I love you Sheila, I wish I could be there with you to give you my support, just the way you have supported me and so many others on the site.

May God Bless you and keep you in His heart forever.

Love,

Adriana
