Update on Shayna

The lastest update that I have on Shayna is from Sunday, so I'm sure that things have changed since then, but she had still been having problems with her hemoglobin levels, so she was actually getting a blood transfusion that night. She is still in a lot of pain with multiple fractures. She has a fractured ankle and the foot on her other leg is fractured. She also has a broken arm......but that is really an understatement. Her arm has countless fractures from wrist to shoulder and she required surgery to "put it back together". She definitely has a lot of rehab ahead of her for sure. The good news is that she is improving and the baby is still doing great! It's totally amazing to me how a pregnant woman's body just naturally protects the baby, even in the most difficult circumstances.

I'll update the blog as I get more information.

Love,
Cathy

Long time no chat!

Well, it's certainly been a while since I've updated the blog! Life has been busy and we've been out enjoying the beautiful sunshine we've been having!

We're looking forward to getting our yard finished, but we have to wait for them to finish grading it, and then we have to get the grade certificate from the city before we can do any landscaping! So, it could be a summer with dirt for a yard! Oh well, we are feeling very fortunate to have a yard in this crazy market where on average, a home like ours is selling for about $450,000!!!! I'm some glad we got into the market before prices like that!!!!

On a more sombre note, my brother's step-daughter was in a serious car accident in Brampton, ON. She is in hospital with multiple broken bones and she is also 6 months pregnant. The baby is doing well, but mom is in a lot of pain. She actually blacked out while she was driving and drove into a light standard. Thankfully she had just dropped off her four year old son so he was not in the vehicle with her. Here is a link to a news story about the accident.
