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!

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.

Another Great Day!
Happy Monday! I just received an email from Quincey and Michele.
Quincey had an awesome day. She got into the therapy pool again today. They had her standing with very little assistance, doing more walking and they worked her core muscles, shoulders and arms as well.
She discovered today that she can almost completely bend and straighten the fingers on her left hand and is beginning to see more movement in her right hand. The muscles are very weak and seem to fatigue very easily but every day the stamina and strength improve. WAHOO!
"The most important thing they would like to say is "all the Praise, Glory and Thanks goes to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
Because...."What is humanly impossible is possible with God." Luke 18:27
The scripture they requested is as follows:
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
They wish to thank you all for your continued prayers, support, cards, letters, care packages and visits from all of those who love and care for Quincey so much.
In God's love,
Shari

Another Double Day Update!
Hello everyone! I received a text from Michele last night but didn't get it until this AM. Since I was at work, this is the earliest chance I've had to update. So...I'll be updating for last night and tonight! Sorry.
Quincey had a great day on Tuesday. She worked hard in all of her therapies. She had an opportunity to be prayed for and to pray for others. That was cool! She is getting slight movement in her left leg and foot. She is also getting more consistency in the movement in her right toes. Most of all she knows what she knows and she thanks God and praises him for her healing. Scriptures for Tuesday night should have been:
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8
"My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body." Proverbs 4:20-22
Now for Wednesday: nothing new to report regarding Quincey's attitude or progress. Continues to work hard, continues to maintain a positive attitude and continues to rely on her faith!
Scripture for this evening is:
"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord 'because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares." Jeremiah 30:17
Praying for peace and health for you all,
Shari

Great Weekend
Happy Monday.....
Quincey had a great weekend. They all enjoyed great times with Lyndsey and Dylan. They went to dinner, a movie and shopping. Boy, give them girls chances to get out of the hospital and they are outta there!! WAHOO!
Quincey continues to work hard and continues to have a positive attitude! (Not that anyone expects any less from that girl!!)
It was a quick conversation with Michele but we wanted to get an update on the blog. They continue to appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
In God's love,

14 days and counting for the Edwards' (and Dunn's) to move into their new homes! PRAISE THE LORD! Thank you to all of you who have supported and prayed for us over the past 6 years! Coming home to Rifle was one of the best things we have done!

Quick Update
Good evenin'! I just had a real quick conversation with Michele! They are at the Nuggets game tonight. This is their first outing without a nurse! WAHOO!
Quincey continues to work hard, continues to have a positive attitude and her faith is strong! Today she got into the standing frame and tolerated it well. The standing frame is something that can be hard to build yourself up to. (Of course, Quincey makes the hard stuff seem easy!!)
They love you all. They appreciate all of your prayers and continued support.
Scripture for tonight:
"For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Luke 11:10
"No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light." Luke 11:33
God's love and blessings to you all,
Shari

Good Evening - Great News!
Good evenin'! I talked to Michele earlier this evening.
Quincey no longer ineeds to wear the neck brace! PRAISE THE LORD! This is a huge milestone that is 4 1/2 weeks sooner than expected! WAHOO!!!!
Everything is going very well. Quincey continues to work hard on strength! They are looking forward to a visit from her sister and brother-in-law. They are planning on dinner and a movie on Friday.
They attended a family meeting today. There are no medical issues to be concerned about with Quincey!!
Tonight the scriptures that were requested are as follows:
"He said, 'If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you." Exodus 15:26
"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." 1Peter 2:24
I finally changed my calendar to March. Its a very cute calendar with little sayings. The saying for this month seems to be appropriate! (Its something I need to keep in mind - let me tell you!!) I hope you all don't mind if I put it on the blog tonight.
There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going. -anonymous
God's blessings to you all,
Shari
PS.. For those of you who do not know my families situation, we have been living in a rental home in Rifle for the past 6 years. The home has been adequate and was an absolute "god send" at the time that we needed a home. We were accepted by Habitat for Humanity and they have been building us a home in Rifle. Long story short - we will be able to move into our new home March 23rd!!! After talking to Michele tonight, we wanted to post this information on this blog because it is a prayer that is being answered!!

It's a Two-fer
Good morning my fellow Quincey friends! I sincerely apologize for how long its been since the blog has been updated. Michele left me a message Monday and Tuesday but I've been feeling under the weather AGAIN! Gotta kick this crud that won't leave me alone. Anyway, here's the latest.
Quincey is able to move her left thumb, left pointer finger, left toes, and right thumb on command.
Quincey had a very busy weekend. She had lots of visitors. She was able to see members fof the Lady Bears basketball team and their parents this weekend. She attended an awesome church service at Craig. As proof of God's working in mysterious ways, Quincey's room is directly above the chapel. Shane has been staying with Quincey.
As always, Quincey continues to work hard and keeps a positive attitude. Attitude is everything! Especially when its a good one!
Michele requested this scripture last night.
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
I also wanted to let everyone know that out of respect for everyone's family time, I will not be pestering them for updates over the weekends. I will try to get well and get updates posted as soon as I get them rather than several days later.
In God's love,
Shari
