Home again! Home again!

Jiggity-jog!

Well, after six weeks, two major holidays, a Texas Tech bowl game that she would have loved to have gone to and one day later, Mom is FINALLY home! After a short graduation ceremony (goofy hat and all) she busted out of BSA shortly before noon yesterday! Where did she talk Dad into taking her first you might asked yourself? To eat Chinese food, of course! Dad has done a wonderful job of getting everything prepared for her at home, and we are all geared up to help this transition go as smooth as possible! She is happy! We are all so happy and thankful to have her back home! We are also praying that she continues to improve and that she will be back to her old self in no time. Being at home will certainly help her odds!

We cannot thank you enough for your ongoing love, prayers and support through the past several weeks, and please don't write us off your prayer list just yet! We know that Mom was able to hit this milestone...because of you all! If you are around Farwell, please feel free to stop in for a visit. We obviously aren't quite sure what the next few days, weeks, or even months will hold, but today we are stopping for a brief moment to be thankful for all He has blessed us with. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! We will keep you posted!

Gwen, I'm so happy to hear you're home and doing so well! It was such a pleasure to see you when we were in Farwell before Thanksgiving, in admittedly less-than-ideal circumstances. You have been in my thoughts often, and I know Mom and Dad and the whole family have been thinking of you.

I look forward to hearing more about your progress! Please keep updating.

All the best,
Anna (Bea) Foster

P.S. -- Hi, Christi! It was so fun to hear about you and your kids and the rest of the family when I saw your mom! I hope we get to catch up soon.

HOORAY!!! We are so happy and elated for all you guys! I know Gwen is so glad to be home! Chinese food, huh? Doesn't surprise me a bit! It will be so much easier for everyone to go home to Farwell now. Please tell everyone how much we love you and we will continue to pray for speedy recovery and back to normal!

Hi Gwen,

I've been checking in on you regularly through the blog. I know you are delighted to be home amongst friends and family. I kept thinking I could make it to Amarillo to see you and here you are already gone :-)

Keep up your good spirits and continue to work as hard as you did to get out of the hospital so that you can keep up with all those cute grandchildren!

My prayers continue!

Love ya'

Gwen, I am so glad you are home!! I know Ed and the kids are too! You have been on the prayer list at our church (Millersview Baptist) since "the incident" occurred, and the members there all have a direct line to God. So I know that you are in great prayer hands!! I love you and check in with Christi often to check on your progress. Keep up the good work! Love, Ivy Pickens
