Congrats on 17 days!!
It IS hard to ask people to help (or at least it has been for me, but I'm getting better). I finally realized, though, that a lot of people WANT to help, would be more than GLAD to help if they were only asked.
I also know I couldn't have gotten to where I am today, had I not asked for help.
It sounds like you've had a lot going on, but you're doing great!
Hugs and prayers!
