A Note from Debbie.....
It's been one amazing year and now I am happy to say I am cured. Please see below for my journey through cancer....
Hello my friends, on August 4, 2008 I was diagnosed with Cancer.
As you can imagine the initial shock was great, for me, Doug and our girls. We've now got a great team of colorectal doctors, learned a lot about what is ahead, and have gotten our minds wrapped around it. So now we are in the "let's get this thing out of here" mode and feel very confident that, with prayers and support of my friends and family, by next Spring I will celebrate being cancer-free.

Coming Home
Hi All,
It looks like Debbie may be coming home tomorrow (Sunday) after a very long hospital stay. These last days have been very emotional for her as I believe the gravity of what she's been through is really hitting home. Debbie has always been a very strong woman but the emotional drain of fighting cancer is tougher than most of the physical pain she's had to endure. While her progress has been wonderful it has been extremely long and painful and I know she's so ready to get her life back.
You all have been instrumental in keeping Debbie strong through the emotional struggle and for that our family is forever grateful. Now, I am so ready to get her home and get her through the healing. One more round and we will be victorious!! Praise God and thank you all.
Doug

Debbie, My heart breaks for you. My heart rejoices for you. I ask myself why you were chosen to endure this painful journey. Then I realize that you weren't "chosen" it just happened. How can this just happen to someone like you? Someone so loving and kind, who would not hurt an insect but would open the window to let it out. Someday in the far, far, future we may all know the answer to the scheme of things. For now we will pray for your comfort and strength. Your smile and your joy will return. I ask God to make it soon.
Dear Davis family,
We have been following Debbie's progress closely and are thankful for the technology that allows blogging for all to read and keep up! Thanks be to God for the blessings you've all been given thus far, and for those He's saving for the final period. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers.
With love, the Herrells
Welcome Home Baby Girl! You have been through soooo much. Now is the time you curl up in your pretty little nest as your body heals like a baby bird. Sleep, baby sleep. When you are awake, think about the good new year to come as your loving husband waits on you. Know how much you are loved by all of us, and that we would be there physically at your side if it were at all possible. Poor baby chick, better days are coming! You are making all the right choices and doing all the right things-- that is no small feat. 2009 will be full of new goals and beautiful miracles just waiting to be discovered by you and your family. To see them materialize, will just be all that much more important and wonderful for what you've been through. We all appreciate the miracle of light and love that is you-- even more now if that is possible.
