Hello All, today Deb began her recovery. She got up twice, the first time was to just sit in a chair and a few hours later she walked to the door and took a couple of steps out in the hall. It was extremely hard and very painful for her but this is so important for her recovery. Her body needs to wake up and begin kicking back into gear. As painful as her walk was, this was very important. She's very wiped out tonight from her stroll's today and I feel she'll have another restful night.
Tomorrow we hear from pathology as to whether there was any cancer left and how much. If I may ask again for you all to pray that it comes back clean. Again, thanks for all the emails and phone calls checking in.
-Doug
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.

Dear Debbie and Doug,
This journey has brought you so far. It has not been easy for you but you have been successful at all you needed to do, medically. I will expect and I thank God that you will be in the 25% of those whose pathology reports comes back clear.
Can you hear the chant of prayers being repeated for you? Friends and family from shore to shore, begging the Heavens for your well being? We WILL be heard. You will be returned to perfect health.
Love and strength to you both.
