1st attempt to connect with you
Courtney here. I have soo much I want to say but very little energy and problems with my eyesight and, of course, just basic functioning. So please forgive my typos. This is my first attempt to use my computer and it is slow and inaccurate. I just want you all to know how much I love you and how much your prayers and words of encouragement mean to me! Jason has been reading the comments and some of my emails. Thankyou! Thankyou! This has been the longest week and a half of my life! I have so much to share and say being cooped up in a dark 1/2 conscious state of delirium and pain and nothing much but my own head to keep me company. I have had some serious lows on this crazy roller coaster and want to thankyou again for your comforting words. When I was completely lost and felt I had no inner strength left I would replay your words that Jason read to me in my head. You have all given me so much. You have been my light. My beacon. I can't thank you enough. I am realizing now that this will be a WAY longer and harder road than I ever realized. I hope you will stay by my side though this. I wish I could do it on my own but I know I can't. Thankyou again for all you have done for me. I will continue to write more as I find the energy.

Great to hear from you!!! Yay!
Sending much love! You're in our prayers and thoughts constantly! Be strong and know that we are all truly by your side!
Love the B's
Courtney - So good to hear from you! I'm glad you have the energy to use the computer a little bit. I bet you're getting a little stronger every day. We had a very nice day today for the wedding but of course we missed you and your family. However, you are thought of often and are in every prayer that is offered. Sean and Alecia looked so happy today - she said it was everything she hoped for and more -isn't that so sweet? Be careful and don't try to do too much too soon. As a Mom, I know it's hard not to, but if you take your time to recover, it'll be better for everyone. Give hugs to your family for us! Love, Tracy
Hooray! It's great to read words that you've written. Thinking about you tons, especially at choir practice. XO
Oh my sweet Courtney, it's so good to hear from you! It sounds like you are making wonderful progress and you will continue to have lots of loved ones by your side through this. You are amazing and I know you'll come out of this stronger than when you started. We love you!!!
May God surround you with angels, both from this world, and from beyond, to bear you up and give you strength. All my love.

I'm so glad that you found the strength to write! It's so good to hear from you!
You're in our thoughts and prayers!

I can't imagine. It makes me reflect on my blessings. I need to slow my life down!!
courtney, you are awesome for writing that post- it must have been difficult to say the least.
i have been thinking of you so much and wish i could find words to comfort and encourage you, but just know that you are in our prayers and thoughts often. i wish you strength, courage and comfort in your journey of recovery. also, hope that your stuggles will diminish and your health and abilities will be restored. i really have no idea what you're going through, but can empathise with pain, despair, and fear. i hope the good days outweigh the bad and that someday you can see the silver lining.

It's so wonderful to hear from you! You have already come so far. Hang in there! We're thinking about you and your sweet family.
This is Todd's favorite knock knock joke that always puts a smile on his face. Hopefully it will do the same for you.
Knock, knock.
Freep.
No Thanks!!
Love you,
Todd & Jen
So good to hear from you, Courtney! I have been reading your blog, thinking a lot about you and praying for you. You are so amazing and strong. You have an awesome husband who loves you SO much! I'm so glad you've got all the help you need and that you are home and healing. Hang in there....it'll get better everyday.
Sending you even more love and prayers!
I have a friend here in Boise that has been dealing with Stage 4 cancer for awhile now. She's had multiple tumors, including quite a few in her brain. It is an ongoing process and it's not easy, but she does find peace and has been able to endure it with some humor, lots of love, and continually reminding herself of the most important things. Not to say that it is easy sailing by any means, but she makes it through because she must, because she loves her husband and her daughter.
You are no different in those respects. As difficult as it is, I have no doubts about your ability to push through. And I know that many, many friends love you and will continue to pray for you. Let us know when you need something- more encouraging words, things to laugh at, great stories to remember, etc.
I am in awe of your strength and I feel privileged to be your friend. Happy Thanksgiving! May it be filled with the things you need.
Love,
Nichole
We am so glad to you are feeling well enough to write on your blog, but don't push too hard! We are here as friends and community members and there's no hurry!

So good to hear from you. Glad you are back home and on the road to recovery. Anything I can do please let me know. Craving anything, needing anything, errand to be run, etc. Really, I would be happy to. You are such an amazing woman. Strong, beautiful, wonderful mother, Etc... Each time I have spoken with you I have learned something. The mommy advise has always been inspirational not leaving me to feel alone in the mommy world. You have a wonderful smile and spirit about you. It may get tough at times but I know you will push through. Try not to wear yourself out when you get a burst of energy. I just don't want you to be too tired for days on end. Glad you are home for Thanksgiving with the family. Your husband is wonderful. He has been keeping us informed and being by your side I am sure is without words for comfort. Big hug. Thinking and praying for you. Shannon Hicks Benarroch
