UPDATED: Prayers for Labgrade's son...

Two months today.

Shane's walking his wife into the ground when they go shopping, etc. (to the mailbox used to be a stretch ... )

Dr visits are at 3 week intervals now & looks like the next CAT-check will allow him to drive again (sternum must mesh first).

Starting (again) to plan out his education & see what he wants to be "when he grows up." ;)

A future is perhaps such a strange thing .... :cool:

(yippee!)
 
As much as I love the woods, being out of them is a very :cool: thing - no doubt.

That this young man is contemplating his future is so unbelieveably wonderful - as there was none previously; more of a day-to-day-thing beforehand .....

Just off the phone w/Shane - a Happy 2-month "Birthday" ....

Just cool as all get out all 'round.
 
Thanks for the update, Labgrade. So nice to hear Shane is doing well. Whatever the future brings to him, he has quite a family (in Colorado and online) to stand with him.
 
Thanks, folks (again & as always - what a tremendous community).

While we rejoice in Shane's recovery, (& this is a hat's in the air 3X Yip, yip, yippee! kinda thing), we can only be saddened by those others who somehow are not so fortunate.

Our own personal close-knit community has ailing folk & with Peter's friend too, not so close, but closer than I can mention, I can only pray for how we've been blessed - & that his own be as well.

I do shake my head at my inability to understand it all .....

I haven't the words for either side of the equation.
 
I owe y'all an update. You were very much a part of what happened & how it played out from my perspective as The Ladies did their bit, while I was "holding the fort," so to speak - seemed a bit lonely with the house/s empty & all.

Nope. That's not right. The Ladies held the fort, while I did my bit - "hauling the trash," I think I'd mentioned. Lot of mundane things needed doing while the important things happening at the hospital. Hope you understand the difference. Had to make that clear (at least to myself).

I do thank you all & our kids' family down south most certainly appreciated y'all's involvement.

We had a "It's been six months & you're alive!" party 6/28. It's now been just past 8 months after the X-plant. Shane is doing very well indeed (although with some "wahs!" regards he just wants to live a completely normal life). The minor bitching about some necesseties is, in my way of thinking, is a good thing.

Coupla-few weeks back, Shane's wife was diagnosed with MS.

On top of diagnosis, medications to forestal, yada, but sometimes hard to come to grips with what a family might be tasked.

We're well as a family & closer than ever. The hard times seem to make one draw strength .....

Figured I owed y'all an update. & it wouldn't hurt to send a few prayers back this way again.
 
No telling how it goes....

I'm saddened to hear of your daughter in law's problem now. My brother had MS the last twenty or so years of his life. While being limited in many ways, he lived a full life.

God never gives burdens He does not share. Not that I understand why some folks get more than what seems to be fair, but I know God sustains those who seek Him.

I will pray for all of you, Labgrade.
 
Pullin' for ya, labgrade...

Seems like our lives are intertwined, although we've never met (altho we will in a few days). My daughter was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago. I've learned a lot about the disease since then. We can talk about it at the get-together, but the 3 things that are most important are diet, exercise and especially attitude. My daughter has kept a upbeat "This thing ain't gonna beat me" attitude and she is very happy because she started her teaching career (2nd grade) last year. She hasn't had any additional symptoms in 4 years (she does take medications).

Hang in there man.
 
Thank you for the update, labgrade. Glad to hear Shane continues to do well, and very sorry to hear about his wife's illness. Will keep you all in my prayers and thoughts.
