My Mom's UPDATE!

First off, let me say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who thought about her, prayed for her, swung chickens for her, and rooted for her. This, I know, was a VERY HARD thing for her to do...Especially alone and thousands of miles away from home...But she did it...And I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD OF HER!!! I can't even begin to tell you guys how PROUD of her I am!!! She's my HERO! And, that is putting it lightly. She came home on Friday, June 2nd, and was back to taking care of brats...Urrrr...Ummmm...I mean, kids, on Saturday!!!! I was a little pee'ved at her...But she's got such a STRONG thick head that she basically put me in my place and told me that she could do it. She stayed at my house for a week after she got home...But, that was ONLY because ***I*** wanted her to. She was VERY anxious to get home to all of her belongings and wanted to enjoy the new home that she came home to. (My sister and I painted the inside of her house, hung border, and did some other pretty pretty's to her house for her while she was in Brazil.) What can I say...My Mom is just a Super Trooper! She had the EASIEST recovery and has healed nicely. I KNOW, that beyone allllll shadow's of any doubt, that it ***IS*** God that has let her have such an easy time with this...I've NEVER even heard of ANYONE on here having as easy of a recovery as she has had. It's SIMPLY AMAZING and DEFINATLY a MIRACLE. As for her...She started out at 317lbs on May 23rd...Had surgery and is NOW at a 54lb ****LOSS**** and is at 263 already!!!! She, I'd have to say, is doing phonemoninally WELL...AND She's not even 2 months POST-op yet! Not until the 23rd!!! I am amazed! She has changed in sooooooooooo many wonderful ways. It's soooo cool watching her come out of her ****oon. She is starting to stretch those butterfly wings out and beginning to soar. She smiles ALLLLLL the time and is just a HAPPY person. It's TRUE happiness too...Not that fake crap that we give off when we're hiding behind fat....And trying to make others *think* that we are happy with ourselves the way we are...She is TRULY and GENUINELY HAPPY! It just thrills me to know that she is at peace with her decision to have had this surgery...That she did it...and that she's doing SOOOO well! She is SUCH an inspiration to me...She ALWAYS has been...But more so now than ever. Well, I have soooooooooooooooo many more things that I would LOVE to share with you all...But, the baby that I am watching is getting fussy and you know what *they* say...DUTY calls! Thank you ALL again so much for everything! Hugs and Happiness, ~Darcy

I am so happy for you both! You and your momma are inspirations to me, glad you both made it out of the cocoon and are testing your wings Blessings, Jaime (still in the cocoon, but not for long)

Yay Angie!!!! That's so great to hear she's doing so well. I'm just amazed she was able to star****ching the kids again so quickly.....talk about a Super Mom !!! Please give her a big hug for me. Maureen

How absolutely wonderful!!! And what an inspiration you both are to those of us who haven't made it to the other side yet!!!

I have been thinking about her recently and wondered how she was doing. I'm so glad to hear about her recovery! That is wonderful! Thanks for posting an update on her. Sancy

That's terrific Darcy. Give her our love. And you are such a great kid! Kathy

Darcy I am so thrilled for you and your mom. Sounds like your mom is a real trooper! It must be wonderful watching her spread her wings. Continued Success to You Both Linda

I am so happy to hear that Mom is well! What a blessing for you both to be sharing this miracle together.

Darcy, Your mom is really brave and I'm so glad everything has gone so well for her. You are both so lucky to have the love for each other you have. I know mothers and daughters who barely speak and are closer to their neighbors than they are each other. Sad. She had her surgery on my birthday, remember, so each year, I will think of her.
