Saturday Update on Shane
I just got off the phone with Shane.
He's not 100% sure they will be able to go home on Monday, it depends on Aleena. Right now she does not have much of an appetite, but the Dr. says that is normal for a little kid.
Aleena's injuries are similar to Shane's. They both have compound fractures, though in different places. Aleena's legs are broken, and Shane's right side is useless, he said. He has to have help to get anywhere.
I asked Shane is there is anything, anything at all that he needs. He says that he has so much support from lots of people, that he doesn't need anything. He said that there is no way that he can ever repay everyone back.
I told him of course we don't expect him to. I don't want him to.
He said that his family, his wife's family, and people at his family's church are all doing a lot, on top of all the well wishes from Libertarians.
They are getting a wheelchair for him and they are building a ramp at his house.
I still think we should take up a collection for him and his kids.
He had been a little out of touch with the LP lately, because he was focusing on his new family. They had a lot of plans, things they were going to do. I told him yes that was understandable.
When we said goodbye, he was waiting for the nurse to come and help him so he could go to Aleena's room and see if he could get her to eat. He also had another phone call coming in on a MI cell phone he is temporarily using. I am so glad to hear he has a strong support network.
