Thurs at home
Hey, yes it has been great to be home. Erin slept 12 hours last night. She was afraid to be alone last night, without us an arms reach away, but she loved being in her bed. She is on the treadmill now putting in her "laps". An angel left us a sign on the garage door and some balloons to welcome us home but we can't figure out who it was? Hints? Also someone sent her a cookie cake to the hospital without a card. Any confessions out there? She was thrilled with both. Thank you. We are blessed to be here and will keep you updated with her progress although it won't be as technical as before because we aren't getting daily blood results to share. Thank you for all your well wishes and prayers. We serve a Mighty God and are eager to see what He has in store for us. Stay tuned!! Love you, janet

How appropriate is this verse!
"So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours!"
-Mark 11:24
We all prayed you could go home and BAM! God made it happen! He's pretty cool like that. I'm so glad I got to talk to you yesterday while you were home...I still can't stop grinning.

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood it must be.....
I have your family's Hawaii picture on my desk
Happy happy birthday to you.
You are both, blessed and a blessing.

Hello Miss Erin,
I'm sure you are happy to be back in your own home and room. We had thought this would make you a better patient. However, if you didn't want us checking on you during the night all you had to do was say so. Dr. Butz called about 3 a.m. and said the night visits were off. He'd just left your home and was talking rather fast, but as I understood it he found the slightly open window he was expecting. Yet just before he attempted to enter a young female voice "suggested" he leave immediately. What unnerved him was, as he described it, a shiny barrel aimed at him. You don't have Kara guarding you with her .38 Derringer or Margaret's .45 Revolver, do you? (Kinda reminded me of their reaction to my head shaving suggestion.) I mean really... we were just kidding about the needle thing. Not the M&M's, which Dr. Butz said you might find in the yard. He thought some fell from his jacket pocket as he made a hasty retreat. So if you're gonna use the 8th Grade Girls Group for Security, we get the "hint". No needles and night visits.
On the good side, we still have P/A Lauren Blessing on our team. She wants it made clear though that she was never in support of our thoughts about using needles, and doesn't blame you for using "Security". She does however support the M&M therapy. She threatened to quit our Practice if we come after you with a needle again (No sense of humor...). So I guess we'll do it her way.
Enjoy your freedom!
All Our Love and Prayers,
Dr. Ken of the Blessing-Moore-Butz Team.
We love you Coach and are thrilled that you are at home in your own bed (and on your own treadmill-instead of all those laps at Emory!).
We all miss you & think of you every single day!
Love,

Praise God for a whole night's sleep. I am so grateful for that blessing in your life. I will continue to lift you up to the throne for healing and wholeness. I love you and I am praying without ceasing!

What a beautiful day in so many ways. We are so happy for you, for your full night of sleep and your walking!
THANK YOU GOD!!!!!

Erin,
I am so happy that you are going home. What an answer to your prayers. I know being at home you will get better and stronger since there is usually no rest at the hospital. Please know that Erica and I are praying for you.
On another note, we are doing Pennies for Patients at my elementary school and I told my students all about you. They have been bringing in lots of money (you have to remember I am at a title one school where there is no money), but they were so deeply touched that I knew someone and it made it easier for them to relate to it. Good luck and by the way I have a present that we had made for you from us. I will give it to Sarah Edgar to get to you. Congrats again on being home. There is no place like home and your own bed.
Love,
Kelly and Erica Techo

WELCOME HOME ERIN! CAN I COME AND VISIT YOU NOW? LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU... NAME THE TIME! LOVE, CIRO
After the prayer service on Saturday, it was such a delight to hear Davis on Wednesday (Ash Wednesday) say that you had gone home! As often happens in our church, when the mood is set for "somber," good news and the Holy Spirit bring a "whoosh" over the crowd, and we react with shouts of happiness! "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Psalm 37:4
I was reading in a book that another Erin gave me, and I wanted to share a small portion of wisdom with you. When you are feeling depleted "call upon fellow believers to support you, and call upon Christ to renew your spirit and your life." Even more than this, if that call touches a non-believer and they go to Christ in your behalf, that's all the more sweet!
Sit and enjoy the beautiful day which God has created for you! We are vigilant in our prayers for you.
In Christ for you,
Susan Simpson
So glad you are home and that you had a restful night! You have inspired me to clean off my treadmill and actually use it! I might have to call on the Blessing Moore Butz team to come and render aid to Pete when he sees this “miracle” take place!
Enjoy the beautiful day!
Love you all!
Margaret, Pete, Kate and Kara

Hi Erin,
We've not been in the blog loop until now and just want you to know how much we've had you in our thoughts and prayers. Happy Belated Birthday! Hope to see that video one day soon. You are obviously so loved by so many! And you're way to cute to be cooped up. It's time for those numbers to go way up so that's how we're praying.
A verse we hold onto these days is...
"He is the God of all comfort.
He comforts us every time we have trouble, so that we can comfort others when they have trouble. We can comfort them with the same comfort that God gives us."
- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
May you find moment by moment comfort from the Lord and all those many who love you. We're looking up for your healing and complete recovery very soon.
Blessings to you and your crew!
Julia & Clayton Davis
