What wonderful news!  Hopefully you and Truman are home and you are both relaxing and napping as necessary.  I'm keeping you both in my prayers for now and  hope that everything continues to go well.

Sending wellness wishes,

Clarice ~

I just want to 'pop in' to offer my congratulations to you and your husband on the event of his release from the hospital.  It was a privilege to be asked to pray for Truman a great joy to learn that, I believe, the prayers were heard and answered.  May your husband recovery nicely and may your marital bond only become stronger. I pray that even better days await you, both.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Yeah, we are good pray-ers, aren't we?   ;D

Glad your husband is home  - I'm quite sure he is too.

Will keep praying for continued health!

Thank you seems like a very small phrase when what we both feel is such a deep sense of gratitude for all of you and your concerns and prayers!

Truman came home yesterday afternoon, very tired, but oh so glad to be home in familiar, quiet surroundings.  We are in the process of adjusting his meds, which will be a balancing act for some time to come.

When I showed Truman all of the posts of prayers on his behalf, we both sat and cried that only a few of you have met him (at the Symposium) in person, but so many were praying anyway.

Understandably I am very tired, as well but having to push myself this past week has forced me to do some things I did not think I could do ..... so in a bizarre way it has improved my self-confidence.  Still pretty wobbly on my feet while I am so tired, but otherwise I am doing OK.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I know I met you at the symposium, but I'm not sure if I met Truman. 

Regardless, you know us, like Lori said we are pray-ers.

Hope both you and Truman get the rest you need. 

Hang in there,
