Lindsay, it is normal to feel stressed, depressed, anxious, and down. Someone said, and it is true, that Layla will pick up on these feelings. It is hard though, I know it is because we had my mom's doxy with us here when he was paralyzed.
Right now, your whole life revolves around Layla - but soon, you all will find a routine that works for everyone, and it won't seem so hard. You will, I know it. When that happens, you will feel better and more hopeful, more rested, and things will look and feel better.
It takes time to adjust to this major change. Everything has changed so quickly and everyone needs time to adjust. You are taking such good care of Layla - you have mentioned signs of her being her old self. She is probably doing better than you!
Hang on, it will get better!
