Quick Note That I’m At Home Now
I woke up a short time ago and am heading back to bed shortly. My body said “hey, time for your meds”. 
But I wanted to take a quick moment to update everyone and let you know that I am home and am being cared for by the best nurses in the world. My dear husband has been beside himself making sure I have everything I need. He’s teaching me that it is ok to let someone else take care of me for a change. I can’t imagine going through this without his undying love and support.
My wonderful brother has been handling the housework and taking care of the dog for me, and his strength and help mean so much to me. I’ll never forget how he’s willing to set aside his own life for me at this time.
(These two men are amazing caregivers!)
The kids have been amazingly supportive and are being quiet so I could sleep (for once, no loud teen music or friends sleeping over!).
Friends are helping out as much as possible and sending food for me so I don’t need to think about what to eat when I don’t even want to think about food.
And I wanted to share my immense gratitude for all of you who have expressed such wonderfully kind words of hope and caring. It means more to me than you will ever know.
So, I am in amazing hands. I will be sleeping a lot more than usual over the next few days, but I plan to tell you all about the hospital and some of the amazing heroes that were so kind to me there. Miracles can be found, no matter where you are.
(I even had the chance to inspire a nurse to tears of joy, but more on that later)
Thank you again for all your prayers and well wishes. I am certain all that positive energy went a long way to getting me home sooner than we all expected.

So glad you are home, and being cared for like you need and deserve! I’d send you a lasagna and some apple dumplings, if I thought they’d survive the mail!

HI Darling!
Well why am I not surprised you’ve already hit the keyboard — what took you so long
Goodies are on the way — I shipped them yesterday the US Post office say’s 4–7 days. Two boxes coming — but not all full of goodies.
More coming soon
So glad to see you posting already — we love you!!!

Hi Sylvie,
When I checked my emails a few minutes ago and saw a new post notification from your blog, I was excited to hear what’s new with you and how you’re feeling.
It’s great to see you’re fine and are getting better and better. You’ve been on my mind since yesterday and I’ve been sending warm wishes over to you!
Hearing what you and Michel say really inspires me and helps me see life through the amazing windows of love and being positive. Thank you for sharing this all with us Sylvie.
Take care of yourself and have a great day!

Sylvie,
glad to hear all went well & that you are being well taken care of. If definatley makes a difference when you have people around you that love you & go above & beyond their normal to help someone out in their time of need. Its funny how inspite of the major things that you go thru that heros appear out of no where. I have had that experience myself.
God bless you & your family. Take care.

Hi Sylvie,
You don’t know me–I’m a reader of Michael’s blog. I emailed him an introduction a couple of days ago.
I just wanted to encourage you to be kind to yourself. You’re on an amazing journey, and you and Michael will find many gifts along the way (I know this sounds strange, but it looks like you’ve already found a few.)
I’ll keep you both in my prayers,
Joanna

My Dear Friend Sylvie
It’s like Dr. Mani say “Been checking this page to see what’s happening…”, me too
I am so glad that you are doing OK. Every thing will be OK, just keep doing like you are, and so soon you will be completely OK.

Hi Sylvie,
Isn’t it wonderful how a painful event can create such
a wonderful attraction of caring and positive energy.
I’m reading your blog, and it’s like a best selling novel,
loaded with emotions and real life stories.
These types of situations help remind us of what is
important and helps to appreciate and connect with
everyone around us.
Cool what happened at the hospital. You are obviously
riding a powerful wave of faith and determination.
All the best in your healing.
Blessings,
Glenn Coleman

So wonderful to see you home again in Michel’s caring hands (and the rest of your family too)!
If you like old movies, “You Can’t Take it With You” with Jimmy Stewart is one that we really like and is very funny.
God bless you as you go through the healing process, one day at a time!
