A happy picture for a sad time


I'm still waiting for some good news, to get us smileing like this again. It's been too long. Anyway it's been another crazy week for us. Shannon is back in the hospital. Her blood counts were very low. Her calcium level was very high. She will be getting blood and zomedia, to try and level things back up. She has been very tired, and out of it lately. I would like to thank you all for the cards and gifts. It really means alot to know that there are so many people pulling for little ole Shannon. Thanks I will try to keep you all posted

Hi Ed,

I love the picture -- you both smile with your eyes as well...great smiles! Was praying for your girl in the middle of the night -- I'm just so sorry & sad (as are many other people) that you are having to go through all of this. Give that super sweet girl a hug for me.

Much love,

They are adorable, the Gods must be crazy to put so much hardship into their lives. Sometimes, it is so hard to keep faith but these are the times that we need it the most.

Mike and I are sending you good vibes and lots of love; we will be praying for you ofcourse.

Love your favorite Auntie Karen and Uncle Mikey

PS That photo was taken at Tanya and John's wedding? You both look angelic!

Dear Ed~
I remember seeing that beautiful picture before....Shannon had shown it to me a couple years back, because we had been talking about "girl Stuff"...pretty dresses etc.

You are such a great couple...and I know that you want your Shannon back, happy and smiling again. I wish with all my heart that she begins feeling better soon.

Please send her my love...and that goes for you too, Ed. Shannon is never far from my thoughts.

All my love, Faith~

Hi Ed and Shannon,

You don't know me, but I have followed your posts on MPIP for years. I hope that this new regimen is what you need to get this disease under control. I know it must be really hard to keep up the positive attitude, so please know that there are so many people you don't know personally who have you in their thoughts and prayers daily. Love, Meg
