Debbie's release date - this Saturday!! 11/29/2006, 7:20 PM E.S.T.
Deb's on the rehab floor and doing well and she's looking forward to getting home. Her headache is completely gone but she still has the rash (mentioned by Dianne in yesterday's comments) caused, the Drs believe, by an allergy to one of her medications. Deb is up for chatting on the phone and so if you wish to call her, feel free. She is, however, very busy with her appointments with therapists and other doctors so you might not be able to get in touch with her straight away.

Amy, Deb's sister is working on getting the "Fund for Deb" established. It may not be possible with the current IRS code to make it tax-deductable but we'll try to let everyone know as soon as possible as we're approaching the holiday season and the end of the fiscal year.

That's all for now. We'll let you know if any changes with her planned release date.

Luv,Mary

Hi Deb,

Mike and I are so excited about your progress. We received your voice message today at home and we were so happy to hear from you. You sound GREAT! I have called/emailed and sent a comment on your blog telling you that our thoughts and love are with you. We are looking forward to talking with you, but most of all, we are can't wait to take you out to our Monday hangout at BJs for a chopp salad. (Brad and Dave have been asking about you continously. They miss you and are looking forward to seeing you real soon). I hope you have an appetite.

Until we speak tomorrow girlfriend, sleep tight!

Love Kim and Mike

Hey Deb,

Such good news about your pending discharge on Saturday - just in time for your weekend :). Nala and Joey will be beside themselves and I would guess you will be pretty jazzed as well. Past time to blow that joint anyway, right? I hope that someone fills your refrigerator with all your favorites and that you totally indulge the entire weekend. Thanks to you and your family (and Amy and Brian!) for sharing your remarkable story with all of us. Being able to keep up with everything via this blog has been a tremendous gift for us remote folks!

Home to Thousand Oaks from Cedars! Superb! Incredible progress. And what's with the tree theme out there? Oaks, Cedars, lions, tigers and bears....Oh my. I'm glad your headache is gone, and hopefully that rash will fade soon. Stop at every ice cream place on the way home, and pretend you're making second and third trips through the line at one of those dreadful ice cream socials at Pfizer - you've gotta bulk up.
Talk to you soon.

Hi Debbie,
So glad to hear you are heading home!! What unbelievable progress! I am going to be making your yummy chocolate chip cookies this year - this time I will use the old fashioned oats and not the quick oats, as you suggested!

Deb,
Its so awesome to hear that you'll be heading home. I'm sure the hospital staff will miss you and your amazing personality, but I guess they're out of luck ;) Your positive attitude is truly inspiring, and it will definitely play a role in wiping the bad stuff out of you and getting you healthy!
Take care and have as much fun as possible...
Best wishes,
Matt
