Rest
Not much to report today. Kids are happy to be back in their own beds, as am I. Courtney may have overdone it a little coming home Wednesday as she's pretty wiped out right now. However, her spirits seem to be up. It's good for her to be around more family and to be in a more comfortable place than the hospital. Another sis-in-law, Kadra, has gone over with her own newborn to help Courtney even more. There's lots of love flowing around. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers. There is power in it and Courtney loves hearing the encouraging words. At times things get pretty frustrating and depressing as she wonders how many of the symptoms she's experiencing will be permanent and what will pass as she heals. There are still a lot of unknowns.

Hi you lovely people, Terry here from England. We are so glad that you are making progress. Just being out of hospital must be a huge relief. It sounds like they did a good job though. I hope you had the best treatment. I know from experience that it can go both ways.
How is the eyesight?, you didn't mention it in your last report. We think of you every day, and pray for a full recovery. Be happy and enjoy your lovely family.
With love, Terry, Simone, Shiomara and Noah (Born Wednesday 11th Nov. 8.9 pounds, all well and happy)
Dear Courtney,
I am a cancer survivor. There were many unknowns for me, too, as I made decisions and listened to counsel from family, doctors and friends.
There are still places that pinch and numb that remind me of a past I have a hard time remembering.
I kept a picture by my bed of the Saviour in a white flowing robe embracing a woman on her knees beside him with the words " I will not fail thee."
This is what I imagined every day, every radiation treatment, every chemo. I had my saviour with me.
Your faith will be the best of all the cures men can design. The love of your family the balm. I think of you often and pray for you. Be well.

O Courtney! Bryce told us on Wednesday about your homecoming--it had us all in tears! I'm so glad you can reunite with your baby--I can't even imagine! I'm glad you're semi "home" again and remember, faith and optimism goes a looong way in the healing process--you CAN do it!
Miss you!!
We love you!
