two weeks ago today or day 14

Shane got to see more than his room today. He got into a chair and was taken over to ex ray, he was very happy to look at something other than his room, and he got to get out of bed. He is sooooo tired today from all of the new activity. I think he is ready for a steak dinner, but his doctor says he needs another day or two to rest his throat. On a funny note, two of Shane's nurses asked if he was a litigator? I replied with a yes and they laughed. They told me that he was trying to argue his case with them as to why he should be let out of bed. Of course he did not win that motion, but I think he has agreed to be a good patient. It is hard to believe that the crash happened two weeks ago today, we still have such a long road ahead, but he has come so far in a pretty short time. But, I still have to think about this one day at a time. Thank you for your constant prayers and thoughts for Shane and our family.

What a wonderfully positive way to begin week two.

The strength and determination you all have shown to the rest of us during this time is truly inspirational.

Best to Shane and the family.

Yeah!! It sounds like he is making great strides! Those nurses are not easily swayed.

We are keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Sara,
Thanks again for keeping the updates rolling in. We think about you guys constantly. The diet pepsi comment made me laugh and the nurses comments about Shane being a litigator. It is easy to imagine that conversation. Thanks for sharing!
Love you guys!

Sara, please tell Shane how glad I am to see he's pulling out of this. He's a good friend and I was terribly sorry to hear about the crash, but thank God everyone lived. I hope you and the kids are hanging in there. You're a tough cookie, and from the looks of your postings it appears you're doing as well or better than could be expected. If there's anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. Take care, Brett Hager
