Tracy! So very glad you are home and it sounds like you're in great hands! I read each day your journal entries and your husband should give lessons!!! what a guy!
I'm glad that my prayers were answered and you're doing so well. I am even more pleased that your experience at Lukes was positive!

Hey Tracy! Thanks for your update! I am having surgery ONE WEEK from today! And to hear you felt as good as you did and do....has truly eased my anxiety!
My wife is more nervous than I am I think, but the bottom line is we have people who will aid us in recovery, and for that we are blessed...
Keep on making those strides!
Tracy Fick  I'm so glad I could ease even a bit of your anxiety. Truly the time waiting for the surgery is more ... Read more

Hello from a fellow HVJ'er

Your last comment is so true. There is a long road ahead of you, but just remember "baby steps". Recovery will actually pass fairly quickly, so just rest a lot and in the long run it will be a distant memory.

Blessings,

Good Morning Tracy, Wally and Family. The good Lord says: "Cast all your cares on me and I will care for you." This is evidently all so true. He has been working through the hands of the doctor and nurses, taking good care of you. Awesome news that you are out of ICU and have taken some steps. Slow and easy is the way to go right now. Gary and I continue to pray for you and pray for continued healing and recovery. Tracy, we put you on our prayer chain at church so there have been many added prayers for you.
Take care.

Mom, I am so proud of you. When I got tue news that everything went great and they were closing you up at the end of the surgery the four weeks of stress and anxiety flooded out of me in the form of tears for about 45 minutes. I love you so much ma, and I nielsen next few weeks will be hard, but if anyone can do it you can mom. You are an inspiration to me in more ways than you could ever know.

Your son,

Thank you so much for all of the updates yesterday. It was great to know what was happening as the day progressed. It was so thoughtful of you to take the time out of your stressful, busy day to call Grandma Fick. It made her feel like she was a part of it all too.

Hope today goes as well or better than yesterday. We will look forward to receiving more reports as your journey progresses. (I will relay the info to Grandma as I receive it.) Tell Tracy that we love her and are continuing to pray for her and for you and the kids.
