Ha-the kids are the greatest--i love the TV comment. You know you are the greatest Mom.
For those of us who are computer challenged-how about a link for her Amazon List--i think your fan club can sponser her holiday.

Posted by Skye at November 25, 2008 08:08 PMShe does want a Chuck Norris action figure to go with those Barbies, right? Ken sucks.

Posted by Hänni at November 26, 2008 03:08 PMHey peeps,
Debu is home from the hospital but is feeling decidedly unwell. Very queasy stomach which is totally uncool on Thanksgiving.
Say extra extra prayers.
-Steph
Posted by Sis#1 at November 27, 2008 12:43 PMHAPPY THANKSGIVING. Many prayers and thanks are being sent your way.
I am so happy to hear you are out of the big house. Thank you Sis#1 for the update!!!
Posted by Missy at November 27, 2008 01:07 PMDeb,
I'm thinking of you on Thanksgiving. I hope you're able to enjoy a little dinner, but even if you're still queasy, there's always leftovers tomorrow! The important thing is you're home with family and everyone loves you.
One of the things I'm giving thanks for is that you were able to get to the doctor and get diagnosed properly. I'm thankful we live in a time when there is chemo and stem cell transplants and hope.
Bazillions of hugs!
Posted by Rebecca at November 27, 2008 01:47 PMExtra prayers from a lurker on the other side of the ocean: ~~~
Posted by skai at November 27, 2008 03:00 PMThank you for the update, Steph.
I'm glad that Deb is home, but sorry that she's feeling so yucky. She must be so relieved to be surrounded by all of you though. Love can work wonders.
Thinking of you, Deb.

Posted by Skye at November 27, 2008 03:40 PMThanks to Sis #1 for the update.
May everyone in the Debu house have a good Thanksgiving. Being in the comforts of a home, with family and as Skye said "all that love"
Well that beats pie any old day :)
Extra prayers each day for all of you especially
Deb.
Another update.
Deb had to go to the ER this afternoon due to the unpleasant stomach issues related to her chemo. They gave her IV fluids, anti-nausea drugs and major sleepy juice. The ER isn't the most restful place to sleep (understatement), but she is currently sleeping.
Fortunately, no fevers.
Thanksgiving means we are thankful for the kind people who work at MD Anderson on holidays.
More good thoughts and prayers....
-Steph
Many prayers being sent. Thanks for the update Sis #1. Yes, very thankful for the wonderful people at MD Anderson.
Posted by Missy at November 27, 2008 11:01 PMOh Steph, I'm so sorry to hear this - but relieved that she was able to be given the necessary good stuff to help her through this awful stage. Your hospital must have seemed like a little piece of Heaven today. I can imagine how grateful you all must have been.
Love and strength to you, Deb.
Rest well. xo+
Posted by Skye at November 28, 2008 12:34 AMSis #1-bless you for the upddate. Deb is so fortunate to have such a wonderful family.
I hope today is a better day for Deb and all of her family.
XO
Posted by claire at November 28, 2008 09:29 AMDeb has been admitted into a real room and is out of the ER. She is in a bit of pain but really is more interested in the nausea medicine.
The blood work stuff has been slow because of the light schedule so its hard to know exactly what is going on.
-Steph
Posted by Sis#1 at November 28, 2008 10:51 AMI wasn't near a computer yesterday but am checking in this morning. I'm grateful for the updates Steph. Thank you.
Posted by traci at November 28, 2008 12:09 PMSteph,
These baby steps can be so frustrating and exhausting. :(
Thinking of you all - especially that quintessential warrior, Deb.

Posted by Skye at November 28, 2008 04:33 PMHi,
It's Aimee-Lynn, Brenda's sister-in-law. I only know you through Brenda, and from your blogs. I lost touch with you about a year ago (didn't sign in frequently) and just assumed you were doing well... I'm so sorry to hear of this relapse. My mother has been following your story and actually told me about it a few days ago. I finally had a chance to sign in and get caught up.
I know that you and Brenda have (yes, I keep it in present tense) a special relationship and she means the world to you. Please know she is with you at this time, working to kick cancer's ass right there along with you!
She gave us a magic word to use if we ever needed her for something special: ZOMBAWOMBA. I share this word with you. Say it out loud and she'll bring extra super Chuck Norris strength to all you do.
Supporting you from afar,
Aimee-Lynn

The Deb has special powers she will be more then Chuck and she already is a legend. The Debu can and will do anything.
UGH on the nausea-but hopefully they will fix that soon.
Sis #1 perhaps you could if you have a free moment (not) have Zoe update her Amazon list.
I am betting the Debu fan club can help Santa with Zoe for the holiday.
Gracias
Posted by claire at November 28, 2008 07:45 PMThanks Sis #1 for the updates.
Deb- so many fervent prayers and good thoughts for you. You and the lovely bird-talker are always in my thoughts.
much love for illinois-
Illinois Deb

Posted by Illinois Deb at November 28, 2008 08:33 PMMy comments aren't showing up. I hope I am not doing something stupid and posting wrong. All I care is that you know I am sending my love. Thank you sis#1 for the updates.
Posted by Missy at November 29, 2008 09:52 AMThinking of you this morning.
Posted by traci at November 29, 2008 11:41 AMI hope today sheds some sun your way.
