Yesterday, Sunday we pulled in around 1pm, and it is so wonderful to be home with Doug, the kids, and the pets, oh and to sleep in my own bed... I'm able to waddle around the house slowly, and have been out for short walks up and back down the street drinking in the sunshine. My knees are a bit shaky but I have Doug's arm to hold onto.
The week in the hospital was long, but the results are exactly what we've all been praying for. It is truly amazing how much power prayer has, and the skill of the surgeon is evidence of that. I won't need a permanent collostomy, and what I have temporarily will obviously be an adjustment, but after a look in the mirror and a cleansing cry, I am ready to face the next few months.
I've been starting to read all the emails and comments, laughing and crying and knowing how thankful I am for so much. You all are my support, my rock.

Hallelujah! I'm so glad to hear that everything has gone so well, and your home. Rest, rest, rest and stay strong!
Dearest Debbie,
What an ordeal and how brave you have been. You are such a true example of a strong, loving woman and we all love you.
Keep praying as we are doing. God loves you and sees your struggle and will bring you complete victory!!
Love, Aunt Janice
We have SO much to be Thankful for this year. It will be a Thanksgiving with a new depth of appreciation for 2008! I think we should proclaim Thanksgiving WEEK, starting THIS Thursday. That's how thankful we ALL are! Praise the lord! DEBBIE WE LOVE YOU
You said, "I am home".
What beautiful words. Why does home mean so much to us?
Home is where we dream our dreams, work our best, gather our strength, pray our prayers and love our loved ones.
Home is the best place in the world.
I am so glad you are there.
