The ground is white here today and it better be gone by tomorrow. It is way too early for this! It was a pretty good day for us. Therapy went well with no fainting or nausea although Jan, Jayci's PT, did come prepared with the puke basin.
Funny thing happened though. We were in the rehab waiting room before Jayci's session and all of a sudden the fire alarm goes off, the doors shut and the receptionist starts closing the windows around her desk. All of the therapists and staff come out to the waiting area along with all the patients. Then over the loud speaker they say "Code Red Unit 3" and repeat it. After that, all the therapists' beepers go off, we assume with the same alert. So there we all sat, about 40-50 people, for about 3 minutes and then over the loud speaker we hear "Code Red Ended", and then again, all the beepers go off. It was quite comical to see everyone with their beepers.
Sounds like we are going to have a good weekend with family coming up(weather permitting). There is a suite on the floor that we have booked for Sunday that has a kitchen so we are hoping to taste some home cooked turkey!!!! (Are you getting this mom?) Take care all and God bless!
Love Shawn, Starla & Jayci

Jayci Wittmier, 17 years old. Jayci is an exceptional athlete, student and a great friend to many. She has an amazing spirit and is a joy to be around. On August 10,2009, her 16th birthday, Jayci was a passenger in a terrible car accident. She cracked her C2,3,4 & 6 vertabrae in her neck and broke her C5. Swift Current hospital arranged to have her moved to Saskatoon via air ambulance. She arrived at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, transferred to City Hospital in late Sept. for rehab and was discharged in late February, 2010. She is classified as a C4-5 complete spinal cord injury. Jayci is currently completing her grade 12 year and will accomplish one of her goals of graduating in June, 2011, along with her class. She is also working on another goal, which is to walk again, with her training at Project Walk in Carlsbad, CA and at First Steps in Regina, SK. Jayci's family is asking for you to pray for Jayci's full recovery. BELIEVE!

Grandpa is up at janzen for the rest of the week or more so he won't be there but thinking about you give dad a hug for me with that bionic arm Love you all Grandma W.
ReplyDeleteWell Happy Birthday Shawn! Just in case you forgot (which has been known to happen) you are 42! The ground is white here too and it has been quite interesting at our house with neither Cassi or Hayley wanting to drive, trying to find mitts and ice scrapers. Hayley took the equinox and was avoiding the overpass and not sure which route Cassi took this morning to her class.
ReplyDeleteI have a funny for the day, which I'm sure Jayci will think is another one of my stupid stories but here goes. I wore my new dress pants to work and walked around all day thinking Mom (Grandma) had shortened them goofy. The next day I realized I had on two different shoes, one of Starla's and one of mine. They have different heels but in my defense they are both black. Anyways, missing you guys like crazy - love you & stay strong!
where does this person "work" and do they have any openings?
ReplyDeleteActually they do have an opening But it's replacing someone that has fallen right off the ladder!
ReplyDeleteI know who you are AND where you live and just so you know, after 20 years, you CANNOT fall off the ladder!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Brother and Uncle Shawn,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are liking physio Jay, and getting stronger every day.
It sure was cold this morning and being a smart girl I used Shelby's command start to warm up the car... but with the sleet last night I couldn't get in the car. The doors were frozen shut, so I walked to work and left the car to shut off itself. Hopefully the timer works or else it is out of gas. Who knows!
Anyway,we will be up tomorrow, and Shelb can sneak away Sunday morning to come and see you. So you may have to be up early. Take care, have a good day, and don't forget to sing Happy Birthday to your dad!
Glad too hear that physio went well. Funny that all the alarms went off...lol. Have a great Thanksgiving and a good home cooked meal. Let me tell ya...you will enjoy it!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all!
