I know I don't have to say this BUT...I could never be where I am without all of you. God has taught me so much about His beautiful body and how the tiniest thing can be so meaningful. I'll never be able to repay you all, but I do understand about paying it forward now. Thank you for teaching me about love. Thank you for being Jesus' hands and feet and laughter and tears.
Miracle of miracles, I may be home tomorrow, but it is April Fool's. Can you trust me?
I love you all with overwhelming love.
Tracy
P.S. My bandage is off. The cut is a perfect "C". Christopher is claiming all the glory. Sandie M., I am one ahead of you in the body art department. haha. beat that.
I love you guys.

SO AMAZING!!!! It has been so awesome to witness this, Tracy. Remember what you said about dancing on the table? Better get your dancing shoes dusted off :)
I love you and am SO grateful for answered prayer,
Tracie
How totally awesome!! Shall I call Grannie Annie and tell her to put a few more supports under her table for the dance?

Tracy-You have been the center of our conversations these past few days. My mom just called to direct me to your blog. It's the second time we've talked about you today. What great news!! We do love you and your family. Know I continue to offer praise and prayers for you.

Tracy,
You don't know how good it is to hear from you. I was just thinking earlier today that I knew it wouldn't be long before we would. This is wonderful news. You look beautiful in the pictures! I can hardly contain myself thinking of the blessings and miracles of our great God. I'm reminded of your last post before surgery -- You're waiting for the miracles of God to bowl you over----We have been bowled over!! Josh won't get a chance to eat any of that hospital food. You'll be cooking for him by the time he gets home!!Ha! BLESSED BE HIS NAME! Every blessing He pours out we'll turn back to praise! (words from a great song)!! Everyone is ready for some dancing! Get ready. I love you!

Tracy:
Girl - not even brain surgery can quench your spirit! You are a true inspiration in your faith! I Love You and pray for you daily. When I read that you were talking the day after your surgery I just cried! I can't even think about how good God is without feeling completely overwhelemed. Love you bunches and come home soon!

Kamperth lady:
hi my name is kyle armstrong i hope this name rigalings a bell. i saw the picture of you and thought to my self i wish that i could look that good!!!!! hope you feel better soon im thinking of some jokes about your opperation you are going down in history like rudolph. say hi to Mr. Coach Kamprath and get better soon. wait wait here is one of the jokes who is the person that heels so fast after brain surgey that it is not even funny Mrs. Kamprath HAHAHAHAH get better kyle armstrong
Tracy,
Okay, okay, enough about the recovery and you-- how about some more pictures of that hospital food!!??
Like what was dinner like? Do you think you'll get another banana for breakfast tomorrow?
Is Cletus the night guy with the shoulder problem back tonight? He's a real piece of work. Although I hear shoulder pain is right up there next to brain surgery. It's a wonder the man makes it through his shift, that and having to deal with husbands that won't go to the bathroom cause they're afraid the doctor will come in, while they're out.
Little advice on that one, Jeff--you have a cell phone, you have a laptop--take one with you and leave one with Tracy--she can text you to hurry up--if you know what I mean.
Okay get well real soon and heal up nice.
Chasz.

Tracy,
What an awesome miracle we have been so blessed to see! I am amazed with how well you look! Are you sure you didn't get a makeover while you have been there? I did see a salon downstairs across the way:). Just want you to know how much we love you. See you soon!

Tracy---When are you going to let up on the acclerator recovery button? Your post-op recovery is amazing. What can I do to help when you get back to Chappell Hill? Except for helping Bethany with her math, I am open to anything you need. Love Barbara McNeil
Okay Tracy, here is yet another 2nd attempt. Hmmm, even Darrin did the blog with me standing over her telling her how!!!! My earlier blog may be out there somewhere on this website. Just ignore it if you find it.
Okay, I am a little bit upset that I can't come to see you yet. I guess I have to follow the rules like everybody else!!! However, when you're ready to divulge every little detail - let me know - I WILL be there! If they tell you its time to exercise your vocal chords - I WILL be there! I know your saying about now , "no, no, I can't go deep - not now!
Really, I love you precious friend so much. I am so proud of you. God just keeps pouring out those miracles!!! Praise be to His Holy Name!! I was so glad to get to see your entire self in the picture. I knew for sure everything was intact when you told us you were going home tomorrow!! You pulled a terrible prank on some very sweet person that wrote on this blog!!!! Someone believed your April Fools Joke!!! If you remembered to exercise your April Fools "right" right after brain surgery - yep back to normal! I love you sweet friend. Can't wait until your home. Tell Jeff I'm so proud of him.
Love you, Carol
I think you ought to keep that eye-patch thing. It could be the start of a new look for you. I am so inspired by how you and Jeff have faced this trial with hope and faith. You have blessed me with your example. I have a feeling many others, including those who have attended you at the hospital, have been blessed and witnessed to as well.
The Sunday School class I teach has been praying for you, and a few weeks ago, Mike Chapman came up to me and told me that he was your friend back in college days. He has had you in his prayers.
Take care, and get strong. Love to you and Jeff and your family.

Just sitting back watching God work is soooooo awesome!
It seems like you can feel the rumbling of an earthquake that is about to explode in our community.
God is showing his hands at work more and more.
Its makes you want to get off that back row and stop worrying about what other people think about you and shout from the rooftops that Christ is risen!!!
(one last thought, bring a banana back for me)
David R.
