Thursday (day35)

Good evening all. Shawna is having a restfull day. Nothing new to report. She is still moving her arms and toes etc. Its a beautiful thing to see. She changed rooms last night because the room she was in (we were spoiled) was a single bed isolation room and someone needed to be in isolation. Now she's in a room with two other patients. The patient next to her is the same one who was with her in ICU. Nothing changes, he's still trying to climb out of bed. Only now he's tied down even though he's heavily sedated. She is receiving a quite a few visitors plus the noise next bed keeps her pretty awake. We are asking that you do not visit her from 3pm to 5pm as she will be resting after being in her neuro chair and its very important that she has down time to rest. We remain thankful and patient with what the Lord has given us. Thankyou for your messages and prayers. Al and Deb

Dear Bethlehem Family, and Darryl.
Every day we read the blog and we stand amazed at how much progress Shawna is making. Also we realize that you as family of Shawna are getting the strength and courage to continue each day on the task that the Lord has placed before you. It is such a blessing to know that God always gives us each day what we are in need of. That in itself is a MIRACLE of His Grace and Love for His children. We thank you so much for finding time and energy each and every day to keep us all up-dated on Shawna's steps towards recovery. Our daily prayers continue each day. May the Lord continue to guide and keep you all in His care.
With love fro the van Ykens.
