You Have My Heart-)
I don't really know what to say, it's been so long. I've just only now read all of the well wishes and prayers that all of you have sent me through some of my cousin Netta's posts and my daughter Danielle. The pm's were amazing and I wish I had the energy to respond to everyone the way that I should.
Here's the story in a nutshell. I was released from the hospital after my 3rd surgery (where they took out more of my stomach and now it's the size of a walnut). It was on my birthday, April 10. On April 10 my stomach perforated at home. I'm not sure what happened. I'm so used to pain that I didn't know it was really any different than my regular pain so I waited almost too long to get to the hospital. I waited hours. By the time I got back there, my body was racked with poison and I was dying. The surgeon knew I wouldn't live without surgery but he also didn't think I'd live with it. It had only been 10 days since my last surgery and my insides were like the consistency of gum. He didn't think I could be closed back up successfully. There wasn't a lot of hope for me, from what I understand. Everyone was trying to get used to the idea that I would die.
I don't know why God chose me to live. I don't know why I'm so blessed. All of your prayers and all of my family and friends prayers were answered. I'm really not supposed to be here. I'm humbled by the outpouring of love from all of you. Thank you just isn't enough but I don't have any other words.
I've been out of the hospital for a week now. Today is the first day I've felt like being on the computer. I promise to keep up with everyone as much as I can now. I've missed all of you so much and I just can't wait to see what's going on with you. I trust that it's been good (or at least I'm praying it's been a good life for all of you). I love you all, and again, THANK YOU and HUGE ((HUGS))

Oh, and Happy Late Birthday!! I hope you will feel up to celebrating it 'right' soon.
You and my brother share the day. He just turned 47.
((((HUGS)))) I've been home for a week and out of my last sugery for almost a month. So far so good. I'm still praying though. This last time scared the crap out of me.
Thank you. It's good to be back:-)
Back atcha girl!
I'm taking it too easy and I'm bored out of my mind. They (doctors) won't let me do very much yet. They're afraid my stomach might not be healed and could rip open again. So I spend my time on my couch. Sorry I just haven't felt up to doing to much. I'll be normal again though.
Love you so much!!!!!
Make sure you take it easy and put your feet up. Our prayers are with you every day love Antonia, Dave and Malley xxx <3
Happy birthday! I'm so glad that you're doing okay, although we should maybe talk about better ways to celebrate for next year.
Seriously hough, you're the stronget person I know.
Oh My Goodness!
'I'm really not supposed to be here.'
this was the line that made my tears fall. I am SO glad you are healing, I have thought about you often. BESTEST GET WELL WISHES!!!!
Glad you're doing better... euhh, that's kind of lame. Everything that I can think to type just seems inadequate after the time you've had, and the struggle you've endured. I'll just leave it at "so glad you're back." :)
More prayer offered as you continue to heal.
I am so glad to see you back here. I have missed you and your posts so much. God has a plan for you .You are a survivor for sure. Sending you much loves, good vibes, and get well wishes.
Stick around a bit longer why doncha. We're getting to the good part.

I TOTALLY missed your birthday and I really wanted to do something cool for it! As for my birthday... my stomach decided to split open on my actual birthday. I can't believe I almost died on my birthday. It still freaks me out! So, yes, we need to discuss other birthday options next year. lol
Thanks for saying that I'm strong, but if you could see me now, you might not think so:-) Love you Kel!
