A glimmer of hope

Many of you have asked how Shannon is doing. I felt like I needed to let you know a little update on her. She is now HOME!! Yeah!! We have had a LONG month of emotional roller coasters and questions, and so it's good to have a celebration moment. The last week in the hospital was rough as the doctors kept changing their minds about things--the infection may have spread to the right side of the brain, you can go home, no you can't go home, no the infection may even be getting better, you need another surgery, etc. It was tough to say the least. The infection has not gotten worse, but is about the same. We are not out of the woods by a long shot, but we are seeing answers to many of the prayers that have been extended to her and Paul. She still needs our prayers, but I am hopeful that this is a start of her to finally have some relief and just . . . be!
