Awesome News!  Like many of you, I have been checking this thread each time, waiting for some sort of news :).  Now it's time for some quality rest and healing time at home.  I will continue to keep Liz in my prayers.

Wow - great news! Thanks for sharing - I also kept checking for an update on Liz :-) Now, one hour at a time - you WILL get through the recovery...don't focus on the long term.

Glad to hear that Liz is on the mend.

There's no place like home, and being there should help in her recovery.

Still saying prayers, and wishing Liz the best.
