The most disturbing thing Daddy and I heard today was the doctor say, "Really, I have about 80% of my job to do with Debbie yet. The surgery is just a small part. Now, I have to watch her swelling and help her through the recovery process.
When hearing this information my sister, Heidi said, "So - we have been through about 6 miles of a marathon. We have a long way to go."
Don't forget that your friends and family are here to hand you cups of water and cheer you along all the way to the finish line. Did they tell you how long the process might take?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update. I am keeping you in my prayers at all times. The waiting is the hardest. Know that I am with you in my heart if not in body. Hopefully tomorrow is the best day yet!

Thank you for the update. Debbie is so blessed to have you as her family, blessed to have the doctor she has, and most importantly blessed to have her God. We are just on the sidelines giving love and support (and cups of water - I liked that). We love you guys,

ReplyDeleteDear Fromm Family,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the updates on Debbie. All at Duncanville are praying for you and your family.
You all are a family strong in faith, and although the race is long, there are many people running with you.
Keith and I will pray that the swelling will go away soon. We will also pray for the wisdom of Debbie's Doctor.
Peace and comfort be with you tonight.
Love ~Keith and Deborah Peterson~
Dear Family:
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the updates. It is hard being here in Oklahoma City and not being able to be there and give you hugs. Just know that we love Debbie and each and every one of you. Debbie and you are in my prayers every night as I go to sleep and in my prayers the first thing in the morning when I wake.
Justin, Victoria, Christi and their families also send their love and prayers.
All my love
Rita (Hobbs) Hubbart

Thanks so much for the detailed updates. I know the writing is therapeutic for you, as it also is for everyone else that loves your mom. She, as well as the entire family, are in my prayers. God hears all the prayers so many are sending on her behalf.
