WOW! It has been so long since I posted I had to return to June 10 to see where I left off. I last blogged in a state of intense fear and apprehension. It is truly miraculous where I have been since that morning, with all Praise to my Faithful and Incredible Father God!! I do not yet have the energy nor the mind set to fill you in on my experiences, but over the next couple of weeks I will journal (blog) about the surgery and recovery. You have all been so faithful and incredible to stick with us through this journey. I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts about the experience with you.

I would like to take this first entry and say THANK YOU!! Those who have been reading the blog, you have helped Cortney so much through this trial. He is so anxious each day to see who has left comments and viewed the site. What great support you have been for him. Also, thank you for all your prayers on behalf of our family. They have gotten us through some really horrible days. God Bless each of you.

BTW, I am finally feeling the recovery process kicking in! I continue to be very fatiqued but I am pushing daily to get back to myself. I am looking forward to being a wife, mother and friend again very soon!

THANK YOU! We will talk soon!

Holly & Cortney,

What a tremendous blessing to read that things are going so well. It sounds as if the check up gave you some much needed reassurance and information. I praise God for healing, sustaining and protecting you and your family through this journey. Please know that the prayers are being lifted from Scottsville. Miles cannot separate the love of childhood friends!

Blessings,
Patricia

Holly and Cortney,

I can't believe how much I've liked having this blog to read. I knew you were going to the doctor's appt and it's a little too late to call from teh west coast so I can jump on the blog and get all the details....I like details.

It really sounded pretty positive and I'm glad you are going to get some help with some meds for sleeping, pooping, etc.

Cousin Beth and Bruce weer here last weekend. We had a good time and went wine tasting in Napa and Beth and I took a cooking class - I was exhausted when they left.

I'm hoping your family will be able to come out and visit sometime. We are talking about trying to some to Vero for Thanksgiving - Beth suggested it.

Love and Hugs to you all,
Mindi

HEY HOLLY!!!
Its so good to see your typed words again (not that we don't appreciate Cortney's, but its nice to hear your own words).
What a blessing you guys have been to all of us. We've journeyed along with you through these words but what an inspiration you've all been to us!! Holly you being a strong and courageous woman, wife, and mother. Cortney being a strong and steadfast man and husband and probably a very patient father. We can all sit back and wonder how we might have gotten through something like this...you're both truly amazing!
