The Comeback Kid?
(Photo: Brave NBIV relapsed fighters, brace for the fight!)Although her eyes are still both pushed out (right one far more than the left) and she's quite nauseated, we headed to the airport this afternoon and will be sleeping back in our own beds tonight! We can't wait to be reunited with Shayla and to be at school this week. Tim took us to the airport. (Christi was happy to learn there wasn't going to be a taxi ride involved!)
This morning she received her chemo in the playroom while making a matching beaded necklace for "Jess" and we overheard her tell the nurse, "I really feel much better with this chemo."
I really doubted five days ago that we'd be bringing her home, much less bringing her home feeling so much better. I'm filled with praise and glory for God's goodness.
We will board our plane shortly, thanks Lisa.

What a beautiful day :O)
I'm so happy to hear that you are heading home and I'm praying for a safe flight and a very happy reunion with your sweet little sister!
Now that you're out of the hospital you'll have to let us know where to send gifts! We're still working on our special project, so let us know *wink*
God Bless, and WELCOME HOME!
We love you!
So thrilled to hear that you will soon be home and reunited with Shayla! What a blessing that Christi is feeling improvement. We can't wait to see her at school!
Thank you, God! It's truly amazing what He and Christi can do together:) I hope she continues to feel well and can have fun with her class at the Valentine's Day party.
Always thinking about you!!
I hope you're doing great little Christie, you're an inspiration - and so are your family. Prayers for all of you.
Have a safe trip. I'm so happy Christi can go to school tomorrow and celebrate Valentines Day this week. We did send something to the hospital. I'm sure they will forward it.
God Bless

i'm amazed that she's able to go home so soon also! Now hopefully there will be more signs of the cancer retreating :)
PRAISE HIM! Im sooo happy to hear this news...baby steps, small miracles, we will take them all! I cant wait to hear about your reunion tonight when you get home. I dont know about the Mansfield area, but the storm track switched, and we didnt get near the snow they had called for, so your travels should go smoothly, except for the snow belt of course :) What a happy happy day. God bless

Hi Thomas Team,
YEAH for going home!! I'll bet you can't wait to return home and sleep in your own beds.
Christi- I LOVE the picture of you with Miss America! GORGEOUS!! Glad you are feeling better with this chemo.
Angela and Shayne- God is good! I'm very glad that Christi is getting to go home. What an answer to the prayers of so many people for Christi. She's forever my hero and inspiration. I appreciate all the time you've put into updating the blog and keeping all of us here in "cyber space" updated about Christi. I shared her website with some friends and they agree with me that she's GORGEOUS!! And has such spunk! :) I couldn't agree more.
With love, prayers, and hugs,
Heather

The lord does answer prayers! Although I don't know the Thomas', after reading the journal entries and the blog, I feel as though I do. I've asked the church to keep your family in their prayers! Christi and your entire family will be in my family's prayers!
Praise GOD. What a miracle!!!!!

Enjoy school, and I hope and pray that you will be able to attend your favorite party VALENTINE'S DAY. You are such an inspiration to so many people from all over the world. God loves you very much.

Welcome home, Thomas Team! Sorry we missed you this morning. We had a gift for Shayla - Just missed you.
Can just imagine all arms of the Thomas Team wrapped around each other. Sure you are cherishing every moment. God Bless you all!

Good morning Christi! Did it feel so good to be back in your own bed?
I hope the trip back home went smoothly. You are indeed the most beautiful Miss America I have ever seen! I had goosebumps seeing you wearing your crown! : ) How special did that feel? I always wondered if it felt heavy wearing it. We continue to pray for a COMPLETE miracle. I believe in miracles Christi...I know that your family does also. Thank you for allowing us to "walk" with you on your journey. God bless you sweetie! love, sylvia
