Lookin' good! Shannon is now ready for her facial & mani/pedi, please. Much love, many prayers. Eva in Kentucky
Nice hat! You are such an inspiration.
Shannon you are amazing! Love that sweet spirit and smile! Hugs and much love being sent your way!
Hey, pretty girl! You are so beautiful to see! I am confident of your recovery from seeing all these pictures of you right out of your surgery. Those hours are the ones most critical and you blew them all away!! Good job! Now get better! Please know that you, Jason and Aiden are in my heart and thoughts daily (hourly or minutely (?), and I wish anything I could be there for you like you were there for me and my family 3 years ago. The Rinaldos hold a special place in the Derby heart!
Shannon you look amazing love to see you smiling can't wait to give you a hug.
Hi Shannon: You are in our thoughts and prayers. I love your positive attitude! Yes you are an inspiration to me. Gary Fleischman
Shannon is actually on a covert mission preparing Houston for the BBN Final Four onslaught headed their way in a few weeks. Ease 'em into it Shannon.
Shannon, if you feel up to it, there is a Republican debate in Houston tonight. After thinking that through, let's ease into your activity schedule. Walking around the nurses station is a good goal.
Shannon you look amazing -- keep up the good work! Happy thoughts your way!
Ask if they can do that head wrap in colors. Congrats on making it through surgery like the champ we know you are. We are all still rooting and cheering and I am still wearing Kentucky blue. No, it is a clean shirt.
Awww. Sweet. Little swollen around the eyes but look great. You've been through a lot! Sending hugs.
Great news
So glad to see you smiling Shannon !!! Prayers DO work 😊😊
