There's a light,... when my baby's in my arms... :mrgreen:
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun

Made it back to civilization late last night....and was lying in bed thinking 'Crap, I forgot to check in to see if John & Shawna updated!' -- What a great start to the week to hear this news from your update. Stoked!

So incredibly happy for you all. John, your amazingness astounds me. You stood by your family, strong & true & I hope you know that even a complete stranger is proud of you & all you stand for. You Sir, are one hell of a man!!Shawna, you deserve every single moment of happiness you can grasp, be it tiny & irrelevant to moments which stick forever in your mind & heart. I wish you many of both. Life begins again! Embrace, breathe deep & one day, dance with oblivion no matter where you are. I hope we dance together in the aisle one day.
Take care,
Kelly

Hi everybody, We are definitely not out of the woods. Shawna's pain levels are high. We barely were able to pay and keep our water, phone and internet on. Our Ten Club membership has expired. I've got a lot of work going on but Shawna is needing full time care. Her and I both broke down tonight because this is the hardest time we have dealt with in five years. Please keep us in your thoughts. I wish things would just continue to get better. Her back just started hurting a few days ago and I am so worried about another infection. Please know that we are really needing a lot of emotional support right now. My mother is very sick and just got out of the hospital and there is no support on my wife's side. All I want is for her pain to go away and for life to get back to where it was 5 or so years ago.

Thank you for your continued emotional support. I know we could of not made it this far without you.
Peace and happiness to all of you.

Your friends,
John and Shawna :| :|
