Deb and John.......... I've just learned some details of what you've been thru over the last couple of weeks. You are a very tough cookie, Deb and you have each other. Thank heavens.

Thank all that is right with the world that you advocate for Deb as you do, John.

Continuous prayers for progress and hope that the shunt is able to bring some promise.

HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE.

Strength and courage. Strength and courage. Strength and courage.

For Chief Deb and those who love her:

 IF  I COULD

I'd like to look into your eyes
and tell you that this nightmare will vanish in the morning

or take you on an ocean cruise...

...in hopes that cancer couldn't follow.

If I could, I would take you to the

happy, carefree places of your youth

to the hideouts where sunshine

and laughter rule the day

We'd go whitewater rafting

and have hot dogs on the shore

I'd pray that the roar of the river would be your refuge

and that God would speak healing words to your heart

I would take you on a mountain climb

to the summit of a snow-capped peak

and I'd look into your eyes

Asking you to keep faith in The One who is Higher than all

At night, while you are sleeping,

I'd pray for His strength to uphold you

for His peace to surround you

And for one special angel to guide you

I'd wake you in the morning

Before the dew has left the grass

We'd thank Him for another day

And enjoy the mile walk to the beach

 There we would stare at the blue water stretching forever

And watch the seagulls cavorting in the breeze

We'd see the mountains in the distance

And know that God is bigger than disease or disaster

~~~from a poem by Mike Hall

Deb. So sorry about the post I had to delete above. Didn't quite have my brain turned out and wrote a post to our other-Deb-needing prayers, Slonedeb. I thought I could edit and correct after I posted, but I failed at that.

Ramble. Ramble.

Our God is bigger indeed!! Bigger than disaster, bigger than disease.................

The very evidence of this fact is in the friendships forged here thru the caring of a sisterhood, woven across the country and around the globe.

Today we send you encouragement and strength for whatever is on the horizon ahead.

We are here and the candles are lit.

For anyone who may check here -- I just found this posted on Deb's thread under the mets area:

Hey everybody,

I received this message from John yesterday....

 Traci,
The shunt surgery was a success.   The pressure has been regulated.  We have been in anchorage at the hospital.  Tomarrow she is being released to home.   She has many problems but I so glad to get her out of the hospital! 
We are hoping for the best!
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
John

Hugs everybody,

Traci

Happy dancing for your progress Deb, and for the love and care that John has for you every day. Sending you some HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE!!

Edited to add that it was posted on Jan. 19th..... so it's a couple of days old, now.

Alaskan Deb, I miss your post and you humor.  Praying for you. Please get better and beat this disease into eternity.

Deb........... I was praying for you today as I went heavenward. Little did I realize you were there already, taking up your place in the choir, joining the committee of guradian angels in charge of bake sales and car washes for the BC cure.

We will continue to pray for your family. To watch for your signs and signals that all is well with you as you are restored to perfection and wholeness.

Bless your family.
