No update tonight....

Good evening! I haven't received an update for the last couple of days but I wanted to put a couple of scriptures on tonight. I am sure that Quincey and Michele are enjoying the time with the girls and keeping busy with therapy.

"However, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him - but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit...." 1Corinthians 2:9-10

"We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests." Psalms 20:5

As always, I pray for you all,

Shari

Late Update

Good evening. I sincerely apologize. I received an email from Michele and Quincey last night but didn't get an update posted. I am very sorry!

Quincey had a great activity filled weekend. She loved having her dad and sisters there. She is looking forward to another tough week in therapy. Her little sisters get to stay for the week with them. Everyone is looking forward to spending time together.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

They want to thank everyone for keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.

Wishing you all peace and strength,


Shari

PS I hope to be moving towards the end of the week so I may be late with some of the updates. I will do my very best to keep everyone updated as quickly as I can. Thank you all in advance for your patience!

Quick Note

Good evening! Just received an email from Quincey and Michele.

Quincey had another great day. She improves daily.

They send their love back home and can't wait to see you all soon.

Happy Monday!

Good evening! I just received an email from Michele. I also got to talk to her for a few minutes.

Quincey had a nice relaxing weekend. She got to visit with alot of friends and family on Saturday. She attended church and got lots of rest on Sunday.

More and more therapy! She is starting a new class this week. It will include circuit training for strength and endurance. She keeps getting stronger and stronger. They realize that in a short period of time Quincey has made some amazing gains! They know that it has nothing to do with their efforts. It is all from God and He gets all the glory! Today she had quite a workout on the FES therapy bike. She is working very hard so that the effort is hers and not the motor! She is up to almost 100 miles so far! Pool was very good as well! Core strength, leg strength and endurance are all improving nicely! THE BIG NEWS OF THE DAY IS THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO MOVE HER LEFT WRIST! WWWWAAAHHHOOOOO!!! That is such a HUGE thing to get that movement back! So prayer warriors - keep it up!! Your efforts are not in vain.

Their friend Robin (their roommate on the west side) needs prayers tonight. Robin has requested prayer for three things. 1. That her spasms will go away, 2. Her eight year old son, and 3. Her broken heart.

Choose to Live, Be a Fighter.

Scripture tonight is:

"I call heaven and earth as witness today against you, and I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live." Deuteronomy 30:19

On a personal note, I am requesting prayers tonight for a family in the valley. As most of you know, our family was chosen by Habitat for Humanity. They are building an upper and lower duplex for us and another family. The family that was supposed to live upstairs, has chosen to accept a Habitat home in Carbondale to be closer to her family. Unfortunately, her father was just diagnosed with Stage 2 or 3 melanoma. Please pray for Thae and Sebastian Dunn and Thae's father. Also, please pray that we are able to get a CO on Wednesday so that we may move into our new home the end of this week. Thank you.

In Him,

Shari

More Biking!

Hello everyone!

Quincey got on the therapy bike again today. She has ridden quite a few miles (Michele was unsure of the exact number of miles but she said that Aunt Tara would know!) Quincey is able to make the bike move with her own muscles without the electrodes. She also had the opportunity to get on a different type of therapy bike. Its called an Armitron. This bike doesn't require electrodes but has a motor that kicks on only when needed. She was able to peddle 15 minutes forward and 5 minutes backward! With very little or no help from the motor! YYYAAAHHHHOOOO! She was able to go shopping today with her Grandma and Grandpa Snyder. She helped Grandpa pick out a couple of ties, some dress pants and some cool dress shoes. They said it was great to sneak away during the day.

For all of you prayer warriors out there lifting up Quincey everyday they are asking that you not only keep standing on God's promise of complete and total restoration...life and wholeness but for God to continue to strengthen her wrists, hands, fingers, and triceps. Your faithfulness is such a blessing to their family. God is so good and they have the privilege of seeing it every day.

"Now this is confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." 1John 5:14-15

They send all of their love.
