ps. One of Rich's nurses was named Christine (Chris) We've kept in slight contact since Rich's accident and she is aware of Shawna's situation and will keep her in her prayers also. Hopefully you'll meet her - she is a wonderful nurse and a vibrant Christian.
Dear Al, Deb and family, Darryl and loved ones:
"Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow." We are happy to hear that the operation is done. May you continue to receive the strength of your Fathers Hand in the days ahead.
We are all praying for the miracle of recovery we know can come from our Father in heaven, the Greatest and Mightiest Physician of all.

Wow, We read your blog at least 3 times a day! From the outside looking in we couldn't imagine what you are all going through. For us it seems like months already since Shawna's accident, we can't even begin to imagine how you all feel.
God doesn't give us more than we can handle, and by reading your sincere blogs we can see His strength carrying you through to each new day, we pray that God will continue to wrap his loving arms around each one of you! Al & Deb, Will, Rebecca, Jessica, Allen, Eric and Darrin, God is an awsome God, keep him in the forefront and take each day one step at a time!
In our prayers,

We are thankful to hear Shawna pulled through the oporation today alright. Now get your rest as you need so Deb can get back to helping out the nurses with Shawna again. It was so cool to hear that.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers and may God continue to hold you strong in His hands and carry the family and freinds through this time of need.

Al, Debbie, children,
We are thankful that Shawna has made it thru surgery and that she is now in ICU again. God is good!!! We pray that He will grant healing and also if it is His will, grant healing. Although your family has had to go thru so much anxiety and worry, we feel blessed by God's goodness and thru the outpouring of His love thru the communion of saints. May you both receive all that you need as you care for your daughter, but also anticipate the upcoming wedding of your daughter, Rebecca. May Rebecca and Shaun, as well as your families have an enjoyable day as your children become one in the Lord. Please rest, because if you don't take care of yourselves, then you are not good for your other children and for Shauna and Darryl. We continue to pray for you all. Please feel rest arsured that you are being carried by the prayers of all that love you.
Bill and Rolean and family
