OK just one more and then I'll shut up...LOL ;)... I am just so happy about this news that I cannot contain myself....
Okay, this is showing my age but a long time ago I used to watch a cartoon called Quick Draw McGraw. One of its characters was Snuffles the bloodhound, who would only help Quick Draw and his sidekick Baba-Looey after he was given a dog biscuit. Once he'd popped that treat in his mouth, he'd moan in joy, hug himself euphorically, then levitate above the stage before floating back to the floor in an orgy of treat-satiated nirvana.
That's me today, my little buckaroos, my dudes and dudettes, my. . . (cough) Sorry. Reining myself in here.
Still, that is me today. Because Chris is getting well and as we speak plans are being made to get him the therapy he needs to complete the journey. This is the day toward which we have all been working for almost two weeks now, the day when we finally get to see the results of all our worry, prayers, light, love, candles and copious good wishes
It's simply a day to celebrate . Our Friend is getting well one day at a time and that is a very good thing.
Thanks for indulging me, :-* Victoria

I am so happy to hear this good news about Chris!
Happy.... and relieved. :D

newyearsday:
I've got a smile on my face--this is the best news that I've gotten since last Wednesday when we heard that you'd woken up, Chris. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear word from Shea, especially that you are out of ICU and will be moving to SLC on Thursday. When you come back here, you can use Sally Fields' famous quote from her 1985 Oscars acceptance speech, "You like me! You really like me!"
You bet we do, and we won't be letting you forget it either.
I know the next few days and weeks will be especially tough for you, so I am greeting this new phase of your recovery with a quote from The Princess Diaries, starring our own Anne Hathaway. This is an excerpt from a letter her character finds that was written by her father:
"It is a custom in my family to pass on a piece of wisdom when one reaches this age; I pass it on to you as my father passed it on to me. Emilia – ‘Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.’ The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you will be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey."
If 25 pages of this thread haven't been enough to convince you, you'd better believe we'll be with you every step of the way on that journey, even though we are miles away and spread across the globe. We're with you Chris, and we're so glad you're with us.
Love,
Jenny
