Very, very few posts ever reach 3 pages... this one has Ken. That should say just how much we all are pulling for Lana's full recovery.

Continued prayers and thoughts......

Ken, I am adding my prayers for Lana's full recovery to all the prayers of your friends here on this forum. Tim summed it up perfectly. You have a lot of friends standing by your side.

Ken, you and your wife our in my thoughts. Hoping for a quick recovery.

Wow, I came home for a bit to take a bath, check on the cats and pay a few bills. This is overwhelming!

When my first wife was sick for so long and then passed away we had a network of family and friends to offer support and prayers. It meant a lot. While Lana and I still have family and friends who are there, this is still overwhelming and humbling. While I have met a few of you in person for a few hours, it is hard to understand how close you can feel to people you have never met and how much you can appreciate when those folks are offering their prayers and support.

When I was growing up country folk like my Granny, Mom and Dad would being talking about a person and nod their head and say, "they're Good People".  Simple words that said so much and required nothing else.

Thank you, y'all are Good People.

Thank you Ken, coming from a good person makes the compliment even better!
I'm rather new around here, but everyone has "opened their door" to me, so to speak. And I appreciate that a lot. I was raised up being taught you bring kindness, and loyalty to friends as gifts for their friendship. Life is a circle, we help and are helped by the good folks in our circle. I'm so glad I was allowed in this family of friends!
I continue to think positive thoughts, and add prayers that each day is easier for you and Lana.

Dear Ken and Lana,
May God's grace give you strength to walk through these difficult times...may His power bring healing and wholeness...and may his love and peace surround you and give you comfort.

Deb & I are praying for you.

An update. Lana moved from UAB to the Lakeshore Rehabilitation Hospital this afternoon. This is the premier rehab facility in the South and also the home to the US Paralympic training facilities. As all the different departments evaluated her today there were no promises but they felt optimistic she would regain much of the lost functions, and possibly all.  She is in for 2 to 3 weeks of intense rehab and probably up to 6 months of outpatient and/or in home rehab. I am sure we will have to make some changes in the house and the way we do things, but that is all just stuff. She is determined to work as hard as possible on this and that will make a difference.

Again we both are humbled by the outpouring of support and we believe that will make a difference.

From her and myself, thank you all so much.

Thanks Jack. This is the first night I have spent at home and had to promise her I would not stay up all night catching up on all the food posts. Last time I took 4 days off from here it took me a week to catch up.

[Pappymn]

Great update TP. Thanks for that. Group prayer is a powerful thing!

She knows you too well! 

I am happy to hear things are moving forward in a good way. My thoughts and prayers will be with you for the journey. You were a good friend as I went through losing my mom. I hope I can be as good a friend to you now.
