Tuesday (day33)
Good evening everyone. Shawna made another move today. She was taken down to the 6th floor (trauma) as they are better trained to help with her physical injuries which are more of a concern at this time. She is exhibiting more signs of slight alertness for example body part movements. She may have been overstimulated today with a two hour sit in the "neuro chair" and the move onto a stretcher and again a move onto her present bed. A whole lot of moving going on! As a result they are going to give her a sedative for siezures as she was experiencing a few as she settled down for the night. It could have been too much stimulation for today because it also occurred when I put the earphone for her MP3 in her ear. She is now in the stepdown of floor 6 as she is not ready to have her tracheostomy changed and still having secretions suctioned from her trache. We remain patient as God continues to unfold his plan of mercy regarding Shawna. He took many years to grow His beautiful flower to this point and so we wait to see where He takes us. Thank you for your prayers. Al and Deb

Dear Bethlehems
We continue to read the blog each day and marvel at God's providencial hand in the life of your family and particularly Shawna. We pray that God will give you the patience and strength needed as you wait for our Omniscient God to fullfill His plan in accordance with His good pleasure.

We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. It is encouraging to read your blogs everyday and read about the steps of progress Shawna is making. The road is long, and requires much patience, however, "If you but let the Father guide you, relying on His faithfulness, He will be evermore beside you, in all your sorrows and distress!" May you be strengthened through the daily prayers of so many, being sent to the Great Physician.
John and Diane Bosscher and family
