We're home and exhausted but we have plenty of good news to share with our friends soon. You all are so special to us. Even though we were alone at the hospital. We felt the love, thoughts and support of you guy's. Honestly Shawna was sleeping most of the time and a peaceful strength seemed to overwhelm me in the darkest of moments. Our thoughts are of thanks and gratitude this evening for we have a lot to be thankful for.
Nice choice...At 6:30am this morning I blasted this song and my wife and I had a great little moment on our back porch. Our windows were open I think I might of seen our 75 year old neighbor dancing a bit. . I feel rested and so much support. The words of that song meant a lot. Thank you...Thank you....Thank you.....
I just saw this. Im smiling as I write this. Im glad I brought some smiles your way. Bob's message is so true.

I just made it back to the updated site and this is the first thread I looked for.
I've been thinking of you guys while it was off line and hoping for the best with the surgery on the 6Th.
We all can't wait to hear the good news!
I don't even know where to start as they say..So here it goes. Yeahhhhhh!!!! Shawna after three longs years of horrendous pain has finally said "My back is feeling a little better and the leg wrenching pain is gone". That's right gone. We are feeling something that has been gone for a very long long time. It's a feeling that is overwhelmingly breaking through a hardened crust with the scars of ancient layers that has stolen away the darkness and replaced with a new and long awaited glimmer and glimpse of what could be renewed as only one thing. H A P P I N E S S. I'm sure that could of came out a little bit more understandable but that's the only way I can express it right now. Shawna, Kolbi, Dorian and myself have spent half of our precious ten years of being a family having surgeries. It is hard to explain but I feel like I did during our first years of being together.
I/we are feeling so relaxed and relieved that with the blessings of all of the goodness of life that this chapter might be completely over. I can see my wife's spirit again. Her glow...her passion for life. Her whole being is screaming relief and even her voice is anew. Until now I thought that I had completely forgotten what happiness is. I feel so good. Yes, I know the road will be a bit of a challenge until we reach the other side but that's the thing. I can finally see through all of this and it feels like a brand new lease on life. I have never had time to read. With my long day's and night's this is the only writing I have time for. So I hope that I'm delivering the deepness that I am feeling. My wife alive and getting better just brings tears to my eyes. I am in a really good place now.
Alright...Let's talk about Shawna now...This will have to be continued since I'm needing to get back to caring for her. All I can say for now is she looks like my baby. Beautiful.....Glowing......and hypnotiziling full of life. I'll be on again later or very soon. Thank you so much..We love you all and thank you for your continued support.
SO SO happy for you both also. Your two are inspirations to say the least!!!
The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

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 very happy to read this news John!!! May things only get better as time passes so you all can get back to 'normal'. Give my best to Shawna and keep us posted as things move along. SO very happy for your family
Cheers,
Jamie
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.
