Going Home

Good morning everyone=) So happy to see you are liking my blogs, trying to keep everyone posted as much as possible. I haven't had much pain at all, but some of my medicines can make me pretty darn emotional. I experienced that for the first time last night, I didn't care for it too much. But my Aryel and Ross have been helping me through everything so much and I honestly am so lucky I have them by my side. I can rely on them no matter what and they have been amazing best friends. Not to mention my parents and the nurses and everyone supporting me have helped me immensely, I had a fun time even though I was lying in a hospital bed. Everyone has made the best out of everything; I will not forget this experience not only because of scars, but meeting so many wonderful people and knowing how loved and thankful I am. This may be shocking, but I am a little sad that it is time to go home because everyone made it like a party here everyday no matter how much pain I had. One thing I love to remind everyone is that this experience isn't a "sob story". It happened for a reason, I feel it was to remind myself for everything I have and for me to remind everyone to rejoice on what you have. Also, at any time no matter what... God is always there for you, he loves you unconditionally even if you don't believe in him or you feel you're all alone with no one who cares for you. He will always be there for you in your pocket whenever you need him or even if you don't need him.

  4. Dear Noel,
    We serve an awesome God, who is always there for us!God encourages us to call upon Him for healing. He says in Exodus 15:26b, "I am the LORD who heals you," and we call Him "Jehovah Rapha" because He is the God of healing. Psalm 103:2-3 says, "Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits- Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases."
    This is with a promise, Gods word never returns void.
    Love, Grandma Sandra

It's obvious, from reading your blog, that you're just as beautiful on the inside, as you are on the outside. So happy that you get to go home. I bet you're so excited. Thanks for sharing your thoughts <3 Debbie <3

  8. Noel, I'm a friend of your aunt Sheila's and I have been following your blog. You are a remarkable young woman! Truly inspiring. So happy to hear you are going home! I saw a quote the other day and posted it on Riley's wall because it made me think of you!

    Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness,heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.

    Sending you healing thoughts and keeping you in my prayers

  11. Welcome home Noel...hope you had a good rest last night! Did Maggie miss us? We miss her! Sorry to hear that the medication makes you feel yucky, but at least it takes the pain away.

    Thank you for keeping us all posted through your blog. Reading it has become my morning "hot cup of coffee." Speaking of hot, I heard it say that "you'll never know how strong you are until you 're in hot water." Well, Noel through your blog we are all learning about the strength of your spirit and your unbelievable faith,…THANK you.

    Have a good day….love,
    ~Ady

  12. Our Dear Sweet Noel....What GREAT news to receive from Grandma Diana this morning to hear that you actually came home last night. Hope all is going well. I'm sure it is much nicer to be in your own NEW home with the family and to be able to be with Emma also. In your blog where you said one of the only things you had a craving for was hot wings.....I thought those most be Vic's. I also got a kick out of your comment on George Saint Pierre. I was reading your blog to Paul and he said, do you know who that is....I had to admit I didn't so he explained he was the Welterweight Champion of the UFC. I should have known you would know this. I know you like to watch the fights with the family. You are such an inspiration to so many of us. There are so many out here that love you and are lifting you up in prayer. We know God will answer our prayers. Love the new picture of you. You have such a great smile. It makes me smile back at you. My prayer is now for your comfort as you fight this battle. Hope we'll get to see you soon. HUGS, Paul & Valerie

  13. Valerie... yes, Noel is positively craving hot buffalo wings and Grandpa picked up five orders from Vic's this afternoon. Cheri knew immediately who the request was for when we called to place the order. Thank you Vic's Restaurant for your thoughtfulness.... they would not accept payment when Grandpa George went to pick up the order. The ladies there were tearfully joyful and Grandpa George said we could not send him to pick up any future orders because their kindness and genuine gesture of thoughtfulness was too teary for him. Thank you Vic's... we are very grateful.... Noel loved her very special treat which has always been one of her personal favorites. In His Grip... Grandma Diana

  14. Noelly,

    Your amazing journey will take you to great heights and sometimes lows you will not like. Your lows may include not feeling well so I would like to share my feelings about the lows. As humans we can not really comprehend another persons ill feelings or pain but we do hurt deeply for that person in our hearts. The really good news is you were created with the unique ability to tolerate and easily forget any pain you may encounter on your journey; just ask your mom if she remembers what the extreme pain was like when she delivered you. You probably will not experience anything close to what pain your mom went through on this journey but if you do you will endure it because of your tremendous strength,tenacity and closeness to your savior. As your Uncle Jeff so well put it: YOU ROCK!

    One of your secret admirers
