Shelly Keeps Going

Sorry I didn't update much yesterday. It was very busy.
Today is the first day of step three for Shelly. That is a WONDERFUL thing. She is now well enough to leave the hospital and head to a nursing facility for rehab. Step One: She stayed alive. Step Two: She got put back together. Step Three: She has to fight to get back to normal. This will be long and difficult. This is the phase when there is less drama, more work, more pain, more time and eventually a final conclusion. Pray for Shelly. Pray for the long term. Pray for her patience. Pray for her strength (emotional and physical). Pray for her legs. Sometimes it's hard for all of us to stay as focused once the drama starts to lessen. Shelly won't have a choice.
It is also hopefully the beginning of some welcome routine for Shelly. Think about her life the last 9 days: ER in Three Rivers, then moved for surgery at Bronson in Kalamazoo, two days later she was moved to Grand Rapids, the next day had a major surgery, the day after that was moved to intermediate care, then the next day was moved to a regular room, 3 days later it's time to move to her 4th facility. That would be exhausting even if she wasn't hurt!
