Monday (day 186)
Good day all. God has protected Shawna through another serious operation. Everything went very well. She had a small fever which was to be expected but the incision has remained infection free. She was very alert yesterday and smiled for me a lot. She was tired though after 3 hrs in the wheelchair and needed a small sleep back in bed to recuperate. We have noticed some very good developments with her eyes. She can now easily look left and down and turns her eyes to catch a view of who is visiting. Her left eye now has almost the same response as her right. When I asked her if she could recognize me and see me with her left eye she blinked affirmative. That is a hugh blessing as we were told at the onset that she may never be able to see properly or the brain may not be able to interpret what she sees because her occular zone was damaged. Deb texted me that Shawna was safely back at Chedoke now and it would be a quiet day for her as she continues to recuperate. It will soon be exercize as usual. The last stage of renovations are underway at the house as contractors change our bathroom to a roll-in shower bathroom. After this everything will be in place for her to stay at home again we remain thankful to God for all the blessings we have received from his hand and continue to pray for Shawnas recovery. Thanks. Al and Deb

It's good to hear that Shawna is developing skills greater than the doctors anticipated. It really shows that the ultimate healing is done by God's Hands.
I'm sure it will be nice to have construction completed soon in your home.
Always thinking and praying for you. Joanne Kok and family
How wonderfull again how Shawna is recovering after the replacing of her own scalp. We are glad for all the updates that we get from you every time and always there is a new miracle happening. We continue praying for all of you.
With love from the ooms and tantes + our children from Holland
No infections!Praise God. Whe have been thinking about you all this week-end, and when we just read that all is well, we cannot be thankful enough. The Lord has Shawna and us all in His Fatherly Hands and He will not fail those who ask Him for His help and guidance. Our prayers and thoughts remain with you all daily. With love from the van Ykens
The words of Hymn 6 come immediately to mind as we read this latest post.
God certainly is to be praised for the mightly work He is doing in Shawna and in the lives of her loved ones.
We rejoice with you in her continued progress.
You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
