Hello!
Quincey continues to work hard! Yesterday (I forgot to put this in last nights update - sorry!) Quincey tried a manual chair and did very well.
Quincey and Michele had a great time at the Nuggets game last night! I remember how great it felt to be able to leave Craig for a little while.
They love and appreciate you all.
"I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,.... On the day I called You, oh Lord, did answer me; You did make me bold with strength in my soul. Though I walk in midst of trouble, You will revive me;... The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, or Lord, is everlasting..." Psalm 138:1,3,7,8
In God's love,
Shari
PS Thank you for your prayers for Asher! He was able to return home today! PRAISE THE LORD!

Texting at a Nuggets game?
Hi everyone! We are really trying to keep the blog updated - Michele even sent me a text from the Nuggets game! (It hadn't actually started yet, I don't think but....)
It was a great day today. Quincey was grinning ear to ear at the Nuggets game tonight!
Quincey continues to know God's promises for her life, her physical and spiritual, her future and eternity through Christ Jesus. She stands solid on them. She loves and appreciates all the support and prayer warriors out there. Not only for herself but her family as well.
Quincey's Uncle Trent sent a comment with a scripture on it. They requested that I put it on tonight so here it is. I am hoping that its Ephesians 3:20. If this isn't the correct scripture, Trent or Michele, please let me know.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
God's blessings to you all,
Shari

Update - and its not even late!!!
Hello everyone! I just spoke to Michele this evening and we have renewed our commitment to try with all of our power to keep the blog updated nightly!
Quincey is doing awesome! She continues to have a very positive attitude! She always has a smile on her face. She's working hard.
Quincey and Michele are very happy to be in their new room. Being in the new room is providing Quincey with some well deserved and needed freedom. Quincey has decorated their room with basketball, scriptures and items from her friends.
Tomorrow evening the recreational therapy department will be having an outing to a Nuggets basketball game. Quincey and Michele will be going on their first outing! They are very excited! Go Nuggets (Quincey may need to give them some pointers!!)
Quincey's temperature sensation is returning! WAHOO! Her blood pressure seems to be regulating itself more and more! Praise the Lord.
Just a real quick update on their friend Robin. Robin was moved to the east wing on the same day that Quincey was! I am very glad to hear that Robin is doing well also!
Michele requested that we pray for their friend Aubrey. Unfortunately, she is dealing with a few medical issues and our prayers need to be for a "healthy body".
Michele and Quincey's scripture request for tonight is:
"'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him." Mark 11:22-23
I received an email from Tara Harris (Quincey's aunt). She is requesting that anyone who has pictures of Quincey during this basketball season, please send them to her. Her email address is: harris1535@hotmail.com. Thank you in advance!
God's blessings and peace to you all.
Shari
PS .. I have a prayer request. I graduated with Kimberly Pruett in 1987. She recently had a baby boy (within the last week). The birth was rough and now little Asher is having some health issues. His name is Asher Livingston. His parents are Kimberly and David. He also has two older siblings. Please pray for this family and those who are taking care of this precious child. Thank you.

A Day Late!
Well, Happy Valentine's Day to you all. I spoke to Michele on Thursday evening (sorry - its now Saturday early am). I apologize that once again I've failed at getting this blog updated.
Quincey has been getting more movement in her right and left toe as well as her left pointer finger! WAHOO! Praise the Lord!
They have been setting Quincey up with a "pointer" so that she can start texting! HUGE milestone for a teenager!
The scripture that they requested yesterday (Thursday?) was as follows:
"...let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:22-25
Love, peace and joy to you all,
Shari

Good Evening!
Good evening all my fellow Quincey fans! I received a message from Michele this evening. (Guess I didn't get to my cell phone fast enough....this bronchitis is sure slowin me down...not that I was ever as fast or as strong as Quincey.....)
Quincey has had more great days! She started water therapy today and LOVED IT! She had a full day of classes today. She also was on the "therapy" bike again today. They increased the resistance on it and she kicked tail! There were a couple of people on the bikes next to her (a 22 year old and another 17 year old) and she whipped up on em! (You go Quincey!)
She maintains her great and positive attitude! She's working hard at this marathon that's been placed in her path. Every day is a step closer to the finish line. She's keepin her eye on the prize!
Quincey looks forward to hearing from her friends and family. She is anxiously awaiting the time when her therapy schedule will allow her friends to visit. That time is getting closer but right now her focus has to be therapy and her complete restoration. I will keep you posted as to when she can have visitors!
The scripture that was requested by Quincey and Michele this evening is as follows:
"When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them." Luke 4:40
As I was looking up the scripture above, I found the one below. Made me remember what a powerful God we have.
"He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals his thoughts to man, he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high places of the earth - the Lord God Almighty is his name." Amos 4:13
Blessings to you all,
Shari

Another Apology....and UPDATE
I have to apologize again (its becoming a habit for me...) I'm very very sorry. I have had bronchitis and my three kidlets have been sick. Anyway, I just wanted to apologize. NOW FOR THE UPDATE....
I spoke to Michele this evening. Quincey had a great weekend and today was an awesome day as well. A great start to a great week!
Quincey was able to utilize the therapy bike today and rode for 5 1/2 miles. (Again, this is a therapy bike but WOW what an accomplishment!)
Occupational therapy and physical therapy today went awesome!
Quincey started school today. She also started some educational classes today through Craig. Let the learnin' continue!!
She is getting more and more distinct feeling in her tummy and her feet. She is also getting more and more temperature sensation in her left arm. BABY STEPS BABY STEPS!
QUINCEY SNYDER'S APPETITE HAS OFFICIALLY RETURNED! Mom is very very happy!
(About that ice cream ...there is a little sandwich shop down the street from Craig that has awesome ice cream and sandwiches....used to be there anyway!)
Quincey and Michele requested that this scripture be put on tonight:
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
I feel blessed to update you all on the progress that Quincey is making and I apologize for the delays that I have been experiencing of late.
God's love and peace be with you all,
Shari

Milestones, milestones....
Good evening! I spoke to Michele earlier this evening and Quincey has new milestones to report! (BOY DO I LOVE TO UPDATE THE BLOG WITH ALL OF THESE MILESTONES!!)
Quincey has been allowed to take her neck brace off at night! This is a week earlier than anticipated! It must feel great not to have to try to sleep with that brace on. Also in the sleep department, her care is so good that she is not being bothered by the staff as often as she was during the night. She is only disturbed every 3 1/2 hours or so now. ANOTHER HUGE MILESTONE!
Quincey had another great day in therapy today. She enjoyed a visit from some family today. She also received a visit from a pastor and received "Peter the Pup". There is a story behind the naming of this stuffed animal in Acts 3. (I gotta go get my bible!!!)
Quincey has made a new friend (well, more than one but this one is the 4 legged kind!). She has been hanging with a therapy dog named Nimoy. He is 8 years old. They absolutely love each other. We are hoping to post some pictures in the near future.
Today in Occupational Therapy, the therapist gave her two choices of therapy. Quincey said she wanted to "pump iron".
As you probably read in the comments from last nights post, Quincey's Aunt Tara provided the following bible verse. I am putting this verse on the post tonight at Michele and Quincey's request because they both loved it so much.
"...'This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you...." 2Kings 20:5
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
God's blessings and peace to you,
Shari

Awesome Days and Huge Milestones
Good Evening (actually good AM)! I spoke to Michele today (yesterday?) and Quincey has been having some awesome days! Every day seems to be better than the day before!
Quincey was able to use a therapy bike yesterday - HUGE milestone! Quincey did very well and everyone is very impressed with what she was able to accomplish. Therapy bikes are not like a stationary or exercise bike and there are alot of other things that are necessary for them to be successful but as I said before this is a HUGE milestone!
Quincey has never known the word "quit" and she works towards her goal of complete restoration EVERY day. Her attitude has always been positive and will, no doubt, continue to be! If Quincey can stay positive and focused, then there is no room for negative energy of any sort from anyone else!
This is the hardest work (physically, spiritually and emotionally) that Quincey has ever done but results are already being achieved! This is not a sprint but a marathon! Quincey is up for the race!
"This is what the Lord says: It is not be force, nor by strength, but by my spirit, says the Lord Almighty. Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in the way..." Zechariah 4:6-7
Throughout this ordeal, Quincey has been an inspiration to everyone she meets! What an amazing young woman!
Blessings and peace for you all,
Shari

Apology and Quick Update
First the apology, I am so sorry that I didn't get anything posted yesterday. I have a couple scriptures I want to get posted but I can't find the paper I wrote them on.
Now for the update, I spoke to Michele very briefly this evening. Quincey had an awesome day today. One of the best days she has had so far! Praise the Lord!
"...And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverence; perserverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:2-5
Hope, faith and love to you all,
Shari
