The Perry's Tracy Stuffle Heading Home From Hospital for First Time Since Jan. 16th
Tracy Stuffle, singer for the Christian gospel group, The Perrys, will be spending his first night back in his own home since Jan 16th tonight (Sept. 23rd).
As most of you know, he had a stroke and has had a very long recovery with many up's and downs but after months of being in the hospital and rehab facilities is heading home.
His dear wife and fellow The Perry's singer, Libbi, has been keeping everyone updated on Tracy during this whole time. Her positive perspectives and strong faith base have been an inspiration following this story.
Here are a few of Libbi's latest posts from twitter and facebook so you can read updates in her own words. She is even planning a welcome home parade! Read below.

"Lord willing...? Tracy and I will spend our first night at home tomorrow night since Jan 16, 2013!! Thank You Jesus!!!! Goooo GOD Goooo!! #tracyhomecomingday" (posted Sunday night, Sept. 22)
"Well, I have been going non-stop trying to get everything ready for Monday!! It's all coming together. Pretty well got everything we need. Praying Tracy's wheel chair comes in Monday morning. He has a couple of procedures he's got to have done Monday morning like replacing his peg tube and pic line. Praying it all falls into place for our arrival home around 3pm. Having a Welcome Home parade greeting thru our subdivision at 3pm. For the locals and our church family, everyone is welcome to come and welcome Tracy home! If you can come, please let me know.
Tracy has had 4 of the most incredible days especially Wednesday!! So, today he was worn out and tired, so we let him rest most of the day. He's been talking up a storm and keeping everyone in stitches with his funny humor! The rehab therapist were in the floor seeing his funny side! God is good!!! Regardless of comments that a few people have made about as much trauma as Tracy's had to the brain, that his brain will be fried! I can promise you, his brain is far
from being fried!!! Everyday we are seeing more and more progress. Some people have made the comment that I need to face reality! Well, I choose to trust Jesus!! Reckon the lady with the issue of blood faced reality? Nope, she spent all she had for 12 yrs and finally got to touch JUST the hem of Jesus' garment and she was totally healed!!! She didn't give up, she kept fighting! We WILL fight on!!! It's a journey and it's gonna take time! We are running a marathon and not a sprint! Tracy is far more ahead of most people who have suffered the trauma he has! Reality is: God said nothing is too hard or impossible for Him!! Reality is: God made this body, He is very capable of fixing it!!! Reality is: All He ask us to do is trust Him and have faith!! Faith of a tiny mustard seed!!! Say what you want, I am facing reality, my GOD IS STILL ON HIS THRONE!!!!!" (posted on Facebook Sept. 19)
