Well, I think this was more of a present to you both! What a wonderful outcome to the day. I sat here and cried my eyes out this morning after reading what's been happening. And I'm soooo very glad that I checked back in today.

Lauren's home with a 101 fever and I told her this morning that it was Zoe's birthday and she wouldn't get to see her Mommy. Well, I can't wait to tell her you got to spend time together! What a fantastic birthday...for every one.

EVeryone is in our prayers and today, one of them got answered! Praise God! Now, if He'd only get with the others on the list.

Love you,
Denise

I'm new to your story, but as a cancer survivor myself (breast cancer) and a mother to two young girls (5 and 2) I can relate with your situation.
Zoe is just beautiful and I am so glad that you got to see her today. I hope it's brief moments like this that can carry you through. You'll weather this storm and see brighter skies ahead...though I'm sure this moment in time must suck :-). I'll be following you closely and hoping and praying for you!

I'm so, so, so, so very happy that you got to see Zoe on her birthday. I know how much that means to both of you. Yeah! (I really need to come and see you soon. I'll call.)

YAY DOCS!!
and happy birthday Zoe!
see sometimes things work out in a good way.. keep that momentum goin!
sleep well tonight having spent a great time with your Z.
peace,

Yeah!

Three cheers for the Doc. Your happiness is crucial in your recovery. I love Zoe's 6 year old smile. It's beyond cute. It's downright adorable.
What a happy day indeed.

i'm sitting here crying. and sitting next to my 3-year-old daughter. i'm so glad you got to see her, deb. that's the best. just the best.

Hi Deb. I've been visiting for a while, but haven't commented because I could never think of anything to say, but today there is no more excuses.

I'm so happy you got to see your daughter today. What a great surprise for you both!

You are such an inspiring person and so strong. I can't wait to read the post about you finally being able to leave the hospital.

Dear Queen,
I cried and cried when I read what you wrote.
Tears of happiness for you and Zoe. 3 cheers for
your sister, and your doctors. I hope seeing
Zoe gives you an extra boost of good karma.

Queens fight for their princess. You can do this,
and we are all going to help you.

Love,
Lisabeth

The pictures of you and Zoe are precious.

YAY! I am beaming, and beaming more positive energy your way.

HURRAY for sneaky doctors. Hurray I say!

What a fabulous present for both of you. Your
daughter is precious, like her Mommy. I think
about you each day. I wake up and think "how's
Deb"? I pray for you every night, and I pray
Sarah is watching over you. I saw what you wrote
on our blog. Since you are craving candy, I think
Sarah found her way into your heart.

Kisses,
Rachel

Holding one's child makes healing endorphins flood your body. I'm glad you got that gift today.

A David Letterman Top Ten:

Top Ten Signs Your Doctor Is Drunk

10. Sterilizes his instruments with Cuervo

9. Before him is a tray of gauze, swabs, and green olives

8. Giggles every time he asks for suction

7. Climbs in the MRI machine with you

6. As you go under, you hear the words "amputate" and "head"

5. Left a pack of Camels in your chest cavity

4. While listening to the heart monitor says, "Shhh. I love this song"

3. Checks your reflexes by hurling a beer nut at your face

2. Brags that he was Slobodan Milosevic's guy

1. After checking you for a hernia, says, "Now you do me"

now this just made my heart as glad as a heart can be (after i stopped bawling, of course!). thank god for sneaky doctors, indeed! you *are* doing this.

I'm so glad that you have sneaky docs and a fabulous Sis #2 to bring Zoe to see you on her birthday. The best present of all for both of you...

I am so glad you got some Zoe Lovin'.

I am a very bad Yiddish Yoda. I forgot to tell you
the Yiddish words which mean Happy Birthday.

Kids are better medicine than all the chemo or stem cell transplants in the world. Especially if it's a birthday kid.

So glad you got to hold your "medicine" today.

Thank you dear Lord for small favors. Maybe a few prayers were answered. Deb, give that doctor a big hug from me. It warmed my heart greatly today just reading this.

Happy Birthday, Zoe and get well soon Deb!!!

This makes me happier than words can say. Sneaky docs are smart, smart, smart! That's good medicine. ;-)

What excellent doctors to do this!
What a gift!
You and Zoe rock. You are so beautiful!
Yippee skippee and onward!

I cannot imagine reading anything anywhere that would make me feel happier tonight than this did. Thank you, Deb. Thank you, sneaky docs, and God.

That smile must be the best medicine there is.

You can surely do ALL things, now :)

Awesome! Whose present was better? ;)

HAPPY ZOE DAY! I love you Debby and miss you bunches. Don't worry--you will get out soon. If you are feeling anxious to get out, take a walk if you have some energy. You will be glad you did. Anyway, big hugs for you. You kick serious booty.

Like Susie, nothing I could read would make me as happy as reading this has done! Oh what a gift it is to be with and hold your little angel on her birthday!! Her wish, and your wish, and our wish for you both has come true today. I'm so very thankful! Sweet dreams tonight, Deb.

I am overjoyed to hear of your blessing; may you have many more.

That is the absolute coolest. So happy. For both of you! :)

HOORAYYYYY!!!! Happy, happy, happiest birthday, ZOE!! How cool to see the best of all presents between Princess Zoe and Queen Deb - smiles, and real live, warm snugglie hugs. I'm thrilled for you and hope the healing is kicking into overdrive! Big 'ol birthday hugs for both of you!

Hooray for sneaky doctors!
That is absolutely wonderful, I do not have the words to say how much.
*huge hugs*

This is so happy. Your baby in your arms! I'm so happy for you two. This is wonderful.

what a great present!

stay on target today...

will say a prayer to st. joseph for the house -
he's the guy for that job.

ooh that's so great!! i'm sure zoe thought so, too!

Just coming back for a dose of the happy to start my day. And also, to say, keep this as evidence, Deb, a sign from God that there are, and there will be GOOD surprises.

Just checking in to say "Hi"... I'm so very glad you were able to steal some time with the lovely Miss Zoe.

Hugs to you Deb.

So there I was, feeling happy and touched that you got to see Zoe, at times fighting off tears in my cube lest they be misinterpreted (tomorrow is my 40th b-day) when I stumble upon Sheryle's Top Ten list from Lettermen. Then I start giggling and darn near do a spit take with my Starbucks....thanks a lot Sheryle, that stuff is expensive. Good thing it's a venti.

Anyway Deb, I am so happy for you. It sounds like you got an hour of the best medicine around and one with only good side-effects. Stay strong. You can do this, you will do this. I pray for you daily.

I am so happy for you and zoe. You don't have any idea on how your bravery has change my life. If you only knew that by reading your journal everyday it has help me look at life different. Maybe one of these days I will have the opportunity to tell you why you have change the way I see life. For now I just want you to know that you are a wonderful brave mother.

xoxo,

Loryss

Happy Birthday, Zoe!

Aimee
