Thank you

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for your responses to my post the other day. I read every one of them and they all deeply touched my heart. Today will be busy as I'm trying to get my bag packed and we'll be celebrating my son's birthday today. The family took a vote and are postponing Thanksgiving until I return. I said it wasn't neccessary, but it was insisted. For those inquiring about sending cards, I have no clue. I'm not familiar with this particular hospital, however if you PM me, I'd be more than happy to give you my phone number and my husband can give you info in a few days. As far as the marriage situation, my husband *seems* to have had a great deal of enlightenment over the past several days and *appears* to have done a 180. We'll see. I'm enjoying it right now for what it is, even though I'm still guarded. (I could use the help if you get what I mean) I have no expectations, so there will be no disappointment. Again, thank you all for your kind words, your thoughts, prayers, and support. It means so much to know that I don't have to do this alone. hugs to all Shawn

GOOD LUCK TO YOU, SHAWNEENA! Keep in mind that you have an extended family here that cares about you and will be counting down the days until we hear from you again. Keep your thoughts as positive as you can and know that all things must pass... Steve

I am so happy to hear all your good news and look forward to hearing MORE soon from you. Maybe one person can contact your hubby and then PM us your address if we are able to send cards I will be thinking and praying for you. BIG HUGS Diana

Diana, Could you please contact her husband for all of us and pm the information to those who want to send cards? Thanks!!!!!! Terisa

Shawn, I am so glad you got back to us before you left. No, you are not alone at all. Even though we can be there physically we are there with you in thought and prayer every single day. I am also happy to hear that things appear to be going better with your husband. I will be honest with you. My husband was the very immature and inconsiderate at one point. It was not until my depression (which he was not aware of) hot rock bottom and I admitted myself into the hospital that he finally started to change. He knew that either he had to grow up and be a man, husband, and father or he would spend the rest of his life alone. Guess sometimes it takes something drastic and the scare of losing the person you love most before you can change. Please take care and get well. ~ Terisa

Hang in there, we're all behind you 100%! Megan
