End of Surgery Day

Thanks, Jane for reminding me of your login and not making me get my own!

Shannon wrapped up her night with a plate of fruit, a croissant, two bottles of water, and finally, some sleep. Her strength came back after eating and she naturally started trying to plan the next 5-10 years. 

We are doing ok, given how tough this day has been. I am VERY happy she is resting peacefully. I am very proud of my wife.

    Amazing! Lifting you all up in my heart. What an ordeal for Shannon, Jason, Aiden, family & friends. God bless her Docs with their skilled hands & all of the medical staff that make these miracles happen. I go to bed with tears in my eyes, but a song in my heart. Much love, many prayers. PS: thank the team for all of the updates.

    Jason & Shannon: I know this day has been exhausting in every possible way and an important step forward. You are both superheroes in my book! Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

    Yes, Jason, we often forget how tough it is on the family. You and Aiden have gone through your own helpless Hell, I'm sure. Be strong, because obviously you are going to need to be to keep up with her! Love, hugs and kisses for Team Shannon!
