So sorry you and your wife are going through all of this. Positive vibes and thoughts sent your way!! I hope you know how many people are thinking of you and I hope the loving support provides both of you with a little peace and comfort.
Hey there John & Shawna. I've looked at this thread a couple of times but was never sure what to say which is pathetic of me when all I needed to say is please accept my love & good wishes from the other side of the globe in your difficult time. SO many people around here thinking of you guys, sending the biggest hopes to you both. Know that is with you.

Nothing but good vibes and positive energy headed your way today. You are both special people and stronger than you think! You will be in my thoughts!

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
I've been always an observer of this thread but not anymore, please know that you have more people rooting for your family than just the people who post, I'm happy to call a lot of people here in the board my extended family and I know is the same with you :thumbup:
^^^this.
I want to send all my happy vibes to you guys today... you deserve it - may your strength pull you through.
And add me to this.
I'm amazed at how positive you both are after going through so much. I'm so glad you feel encouraged from the posts you read here but like arq said, many more people are wishing for all the best for your family. I know you will get through this, even if some days seem tough.
Dimitrispearljam made me aware of this post. I can clearly see why. I'm so sorry that fate is hitting you that heard and at such a young age.
I really, really, really hope that luck is on your side and that Shawna will get better soon and that life will turn around once again but this time for the better.
I think of both of you and wish you that both of you will be able to see Pearl Jam concerts again!
Best,
Nastasja
You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself
Living this, it's hard to see past it ... I know from my own time,
but what came from that time, the most beautiful thing...
how much closer JB and I grew.
Our trust and faith, devotion, loyalty ... it is through the tough times
that these grow and we keep forever, no matter what and this is living.
You both are in my thoughts and prayers...
hold tight to each other, love will see you through
My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

I don't think I can say it better than arq did. You have a large 10C family who are thinking about you and sending there support (far more than just the 17 pages of posts).
Sending positive vibes your way...you are not alone! We are all praying for both of you. I've seen how amazing this community is...please know that we're all here for you to help in any way we can!

The same thoughts are reflected here in Scotland. I have to be honest and say I've seen this thread title pop up and not read it as it looked like an update of old news but I've sat up and taken notice now thanks to a very caring board member we all know and love...
It sounds like you've been having a hell of a time there and having read every page of this thread it's great to see that massive moral support is coming your way in the typical spirit of this community. There's a lot of hardship and heartache around for sure but I've seen these stories turn around for the better and I think yours will have a happy ever after too. Keep digging in and doing exactly as you are now. I have nothing but respect for what you are doing and with a little bit of better fortune you can look back on this with a great sense of relief. Like others have said, if there's ever anything more that can be done then you're in the perfect community to recieve whatever you wish. I know some amazing people on here and I know how quickly they can rally support. Don't feel alone and don't be afraid to ask for anything.
The sun will rise another day.

I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!
Good morning John and Shawna!
Its a beautiful and sunny morning here in Vienna...and it makes me think that it should be the same for all of us! Really hope your tough times come to an end very soon and that you're able to enjoy the bright side of life! all my best wishes go out to you both!

Well we have had a very long 24 hours or so. Shawna's pain levels got out of control and we had to go to the E.R. We got home late and due to my worrying I didn't sleep until late this afternoon. Shawna is doing a little bit better this evening. Tomorrow is a big day we're going to find out how her heart is doing around 1:30 in the afternoon. If all goes well then she'll get the cardiac clearance she needs to set up her final back surgery. Then it'll be recovery time, physical therapy and then slowly but thankfully back to life.
We were in tears today when we got on here and saw all of your posts . Tears of joy and happiness were running down our faces. We don't even know where to start with this. We have never in five years had so much support. We have family but they all live out of town and out of state. It is hard to connect due to so many circumstances involved.They are all there if we need them and we are definitely loved and on plenty of prayer chains. All we know is that you all have been so kind, supportive, compassionate, loving and have really shown us what humanity is all about. We are completely humbled, gracious and in total awe about all of this. You people are the greatest people anywhere.
We have been through the worst of it all with you right by our side. The ups the downs, the good times and all of the bad times. We really feel a sense of family "JAMILY" that seems to always be here when we need you to the most. Shawna and I were reading an inspirational e-mail earlier and it was talking about beliefs with breath taking photos. One of the statements completely stuck out like it was meant for all of you. It says:
I BELIEVE YOUR LIFE CAN BE CHANGED IN A MATTER OF HOURS BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU...
That explains exactly what has happened in the past 24 hours/year and a half to Shawna and I. You guy's and gal's are so special to us. You are amazing people. For you to take time out of your lives to dig deep and share with us such love and inspiration is beyond what we've ever known. For you to unconditionally reach out and lend us your ear, heart and always be there to comfort us. In our darkest of times is something that will always stay with us through the years and the tests of time. We are so thankful of your continued support. You have given us strength and kept us on a positive path. We don't know what lies ahead for Shawna and I but we do know that we are loved. We know that we WILL make it through all of this and one day be able to give back to this community.
Here's and cheers to all of you..
Thank you for everything...
All of our thoughts are of you tonight.
Good to hear things are looking up. Digging up some more vibes and sending them your way...continuous channel open to you
Can't wait to hear the new test results!
peace,
jo
