1st day home

Sorry it has taken me so long to update....yesterday was a little rough. First of all it took forever for them to discharge me. Then the ride home was a little tough on me. Poor Kyle had to drive through my barfing. Need less to say, I was exhausted when we reached home. Then I found out my daughter in law Erika had to be hospitalized for a high glucose level and they thought it was not just gestational diabetes. I felt so bad leaving them without Kyle to stay and watch Kade, so they had to take him with them to the hospital. I'm waiting to hear what they found out today. Today was a better day for me, I even ate real food and kept it down today! I am just so overwhelmed by all of the support, love, and help from all of you. I have broke down more than a few times today whenever I think of it. I owe many many thank yous and I will get them out. Thanks to the neighbors for the sign out front welcoming me home. I burst into tears when I saw it. Thank you everyone else for everything, I will never forget your generosity. Talk to you tomorrow.

    Hi Cindy!
    Your voice sounded so strong on the phone! Keep eating and resting. You're getting closer and closer to recovery. With all your determination, faith, support, and the love of your family and friends, you KNOW you're going to win this, Cindy. I don't know how many kids your front porch and backyard can hold, but I'm hoping all 58 of us can make it tomorrow-weather permitting. I'll have to check with the other 2 teachers if they can make it. If not, count on 19 of us encircling you with prayer sometime after ten. Don't worry about seeing us, if you're tired take a nap, but if you're awake, don't come out-we carry lots of "bugs". YES I CAN!

    Hi Cindy,
    Glad to hear things progressed forward so you could go home. This
    might be just the "medicine"
    you need- to be "Home Sweet Home".
    Even though we don't send a message
    every day, we check daily on your
    updates. As always we on the home
    team were "cheering" for things to
    improve and glad those white cells "scored high". We will be cheering for you to cross the "finish line" to recovery! Our best to Kyle and the family.
    Oh by the way we are going to be grandparents:) Amber & John are expecting in January.
    Love and Prayers,
    Elmer and Geralyn

    Sweet Cindy,
    So glad you had a better day today after your rough ride home. We are praying that you will improve every day and soon feel like doing some of the many things you enjoy. We're anxiously waiting to hear how Erika is doing. I tried to post on her blog several times last night but it wouldn't go through. We are lifting up all of you in our prayers. Rest well and think healing,positive thoughts. You are getting closer and closer to your cure.
    Love,

    Hi Mom.

    I hope that you continue to rest and get your strength back. I hear you had some Cameo pizza, that will get you better!

    Erika is doing good. We will learn more tomorrow as to whether it is Gestational or Type 1 Diabetes.

    Love you,
    "Little" Kyle

    I'm so glad you are home. It must be nice to be around familiar things after being the hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Stay positive, keep smiling that beautiful smile, and praise God for the many blessings you have in your family and friends.

    Hi, Cindy (Kyle,too!)
    Just wanted you to know that you can add yet another person who thinks of you often and prays for you nightly.
    I am visiting your website for the 1st time, and was very happy to hear that you are home. Your family must be ecstatic!
    There are so many people praying for you, and I know that every single prayer is being heard. Take care, get some rest, and know that you are being thought of.
    May you feel God's healing strength.
    Linda and Squawk Smith
