Hi Folks:

Louis Twinn has been away from the board for a few days. His 32 year old daughter, ShieAnn, had a massive heart attack a few days ago and he has been mostly at the hospital.

It seems she had little or no brain activity for awhile but there have been some signs of improvement. Currently she is in an induced coma with the hope that it will give her brain a chance to heal. I don't know much more at this point.

Please send your prayers and positive thoughts his way. I'm sure any message you might wish to leave would cheer him up as well.

Many thanks,
Scott

Louis,

I am so very sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you. Please know that you and your daughter will be in my thoughts and prayers.

May it help you at this very difficult time to know that there are so many of us who will be thinking of and praying for you both.

Gail

Louis,
Please know that you and your daughter are on my mind and in my prayers tonight.I pray for her full recovery.

Ditto, and THEN some Louis.

In my house, there is someone who cares for me each day.
In my house, no empty rooms are left inside of me.

and though I have never seen him, with these eyes of mine
He has a way of making himself known

And just when I needed, him the most, he is always there it seems
yes just like He promised, that He would be.
He is always there for me.

In my life, there is no other friend as close as He.
In my life, I'm surrounded by His beauty constantly

there's no time for me to worry , it's a useless thing.
He always knows exactly what I need.

And just when I needed, him the most, he is always there it seems
yes just like He promised, that He would be.
He is always there for me.


and though I have never seen him, with these eyes of mine

He is always there for me.

Thinking about your daughter big time Louis.
It'll be OK friend. Ben

Louis you know we all are praying for you!

Thanks everyone.

I talked to Louis just now. He's been reading your posts and he is so appreciative of all of your messages and prayers.

He said that they brought ShieAnn out of the induced coma today and did a CAT scan and EEG. The CAT scan showed the swelling in her brain is coming down. Encouraging news...

Scott

Hi Louis,

I just wanted to come by again to let you know...... you and your daughter have been in my prayers all day.

My heart just aches for you......as a parent I can only imagine what you must be feeling. May God give you comfort and strength, and your daughter a complete recovery.

Gail

Louis,

I just read this. I've been in and out the last few days. What a horrible nightmare. I hope your daughter makes a full recovery. I'll be praying for her and for you and your wife. Be strong in your faith.

Scott, after I finished posting the above message for Louis.....I saw that you had just come by and left an update about ShieAnn....that is such encouraging and uplifting news.

Please keep us updated. You are such a nice friend.

Gail

Louis, prayers for you and your daughter from here in Nebraska.

Tom

Scott, thanks for the update. I've been wondering about how she was doing. Will keep praying for even better news. I know Louis has just been petrified of the outcome. My heart goes out to them both.

Hello Louis....

Cast all you care upon Him for He careth for you.

Your daughter may be 32 but she's still your baby. This is a difficult time as a parent. So thankful the latest news looks encouraging but will still ask that ShieAnn will regain full health.

Gob bless you all with His strength and comfort,
Lynn

Hi Louis!...So sorry to read this...I will be praying for
ShieAnn and your family.... You take good care, my friend.
Hugs...

Louis:

You and your daughter are in our prayers.

Mark

Add me to the list of people praying for you and your daughter.

Hello dear Louis,
I see that there are some good indications occurring with your daughter in that the swelling is coming down and she is out of the induced coma. I pray that she continues to heal quickly and that this will all soon be behind you both.

It is indeed a blessing that you are able to be with your daughter during this time. Cherish each other. These are the times which bond for eternity.

Blessings to you both,
Heidi

Louis,

My heart, best wishes and prayers are still being sent your way...I hope everything gets better really quick and before you know it you all will be home together....and it is a blessing you to be with her at this time....I will keep praying...glyn

Thanks for posting this Scott. Louis, my thoughts and prayers go out for the speedy and full recovery of your daughter and to comfort you and your family in this time of crisis.
-Dave

Louis,

We are continuing to pray for your daughter. May she recover fully soon!

Emily

Hi Everyone:

Just got another update from Louis. ShieAnn opened her eyes for a little while last night when they were playing a recording of her children's voices. Small improvements but improvements nonetheless. They'll be moving her to a long care room soon.

Louis says that he really appreciates you folks and hopes we can keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming. Thanks everyone!

Scott

P.S. From one of the nurses: "To those who believe, no miracle is necessary, To those who doubt, no miracle is sufficient. Courage, fear that has said it's prayers"

That's great news, Scott. Thanks for keeping us posted and please continue to do so. I will continue praying for ShieAnn and her family.

Thanks for that update Scott. That is wonderful news. I will continue to keep ShieAnn and family in my prayers and thoughts.

Gail

Yes, Scott

I'm sure you're telling him we're all still praying and he and his family are very much in our thoughts.....glyn

Louis,

my prayers are with you and your family

..ant

Great news!Any improvement, no matter how small, is encouraging. Every little thing is fuel for hope. Helen and I are keeping Louis' family in our prayers.

Alan & Helen

HI Louis

I'm still praying buddy...hope for everything to get better really soon....all we can ever do is put it into God's hands...but please remember we're all thinking about you and still praying...won't give up....thanks Scott.....

glyn

Just heard from Louis - some good news.

The medical folks had been looking for ShieAnn to make signs of "purposeful movement". Earlier today she tried to remove her breathing tube - which was interpreted as a good sign.

Then later she sat up in bed and reached for her husband. Even more purposeful, I reckon

They plan to remove the breathing tube tomorrow.

Again, Louis is very thankful for your prayers and support. Thank-you all!

Scott

Scott,

That's all great news! The fact that she's cognizant of the tube and her husband is very encouraging. Helen made similar gestures after she emerged from her coma. The doctors told me that that was the type of responses they were looking for. So, having experienced a somewhat simiular situation with Helen, I can only anticipate that ShieAnn is moving in a positive direction. Our prayers are still with Louis and ShieAnn's family. Thanks for the update.

Alan

That is great news, Scott.

YEAH !

Count me among your Well-Wishers, Louis, & I hope your News continues to be getting better-&-better!

Big Hugs,
Stan

Dear Louis, please know that all the positive energy we can muster is heading your way!! The news sounds very encouraging about ShieAnn's progress....

Hang in there, and Scott, thank you for the regular updates...

Keep up the good work,
Beth

Hi Louis,

We'll keep the positive energy flowing your way. All good things.

Ricki

Anything new to report?

Hi all... I've been peaking in every once in awhile reading all your prayers and thoughts of support. They mean so much to my wife and I right now. Shie is continuing to progress. She's moving her arms, waking up now and then, looking around. I tickled her feet,she moved her toes She actually grunted at the nurse twice this morning during physical therapy, lol. They've got the breathing tube out and she's breathing on her own, which was a major victory!!! The doctor's ordered that we play music for her. It stimulates the brain in ways they can't explain. So we've got a coupla mp3 players hooked up. So, it's slow going but each day seems to bring success. We're a long way from where we were last week. I ask that you please continue praying and thinking of her.

Almost forgot, I wanted to give Scott a special thanks for asking for all ya'lls prayers for me. Thanks Friend

Hi there Louis,

How wonderful to hear from you....and to hear such wonderful, encouraging news! It is always good news to hear about every positive sign.

There is definitely power in prayer....and I will continue to send out prayers for ShieAnn to have a glorious and complete recovery.

Please know our love and prayers are with you and your entire family Louis.

Thank you so much for coming by and sharing this uplifting news.

God bless and be with you.

Gail

Good to hear from you Louis. I'm praying for her. Ben

Louis,

So good to hear from you that Shie is making notable progress. I'm thinking your situation with Shie is more dangerous than when Helen was in her coma. But, to some defree I can empathize with you. every little step is worth a big celebration!

Helen and I will continue to keep her in our prayers. Wishing your family the very best, my friend.

Alan & Helen

Louis, best wishes to your daughter and your family, sometimes a big event like this can happen in your life and if she can get through it, the strength she'll acquire from that will help in the rest of her life.

Best wishes from Camden Town.

Lucian

Hi Louis... I've been praying for both your daughter and Al's wife... such hard times.

If you haven't done it already, I'd encourage you to play your guitar for your daughter. I think if there's songs that you used to sing as a family around the campfire or around the kitchen table... those songs might stimulate something in her brain too. I'm a nurse and I really believe in the power of music.

Peace and Godspeed,

Ian

Dear Louis...

I'm glad your daughter is doing better and glad things
are looking brighter than they did last week....

Hugs to you and your wife, and I am praying too.
Kaley

Louis,
I can't give you book chapter and verse just now but "where two or more of you are gathered in my name there am I also". And brother we are all gathered in His name. Let's pray in faith she makes a full recovery and thank our heavenly Father for every good and perfect gift.

That is such wonderful news I could just about cry. I'm sure you have. Play her some tunes.

in Christ,
John

God bless you, Louis. I will be praying for your daughter.

Louis, my prayers are with you and ShieAnn.

That's wonderful news, Louis.

Donna

Hi Louis,

Good to hear she is doing better, i'm a respiratory therapist and that's my job to take care of patients on life support, i'm mostly the one who pulls that tube out,and it's always a good feeling when it comes out for us also.. my thoughts and prayers are still coming your way, they haven't stopped and I know we're all pulling for you..you take care of yourself too...lots of love coming to you and your family too....glyn

Louis..

My thoughts and prayers are with you as well...my fiance was in a coma for over 30 days and we are getting married next month...good things can happen..

Larry

Hi Scott,


Haven't noticed any recent updates.....was just wondering if you've heard how ShieAnn is doing.

My thoughts and prayers are still with her and her family.


Gail

Hi Gail:

I was incommunicado for a week - just got back last night.

Got an email update from Louis though and just talked to him on the phone. ShieAnn was moved up to a ward a couple days ago. Louis says this is a good thing because she'll get more physical therapy.

She's becoming more and more responsive to stimuli as well. So she is continuing to make progress. It's going to be a long haul though and, at any given time, Louis is either working or at the hospital. So I'd like to ask everyone to say a prayer or send a thought his way to keep his strength up.

Thanks for bumping this, Gail!

Scott

Thanks so much Scott for updating us on Louis..I was wondering also...

Louis,
I'm thinking about you and your family everyday, and i'm still everyday saying prayers for you...my thoughts and best wishes are still coming your way..I may not be there where you can see me, but believe me..I am there with you....wish I could do more...glyn

Thank you so much Scott. It is good to hear that she is continuing to make progress.



Louis,

Please know thoughts and prayers are continuing to go out for your daughter and your family.

I pray the Lord will give you the strength you need.

Gail

Scott,
thanks for keeping us posted. We'll keep praying.

amen,
John

Just got word from Louis that ShieAnn spoke a few words yesterday during physical therapy. They could make out a "why" but not the other three words.

On behalf of Louis, thanks again to everyone.

Scott

Ahhhhhhh Great NewS - we'll keep thinking of her and Louis !!

GREAT news!!! Here's wishing her and the family everything good! Thanks, Scott.

Alan

Hi Scott and Louis,

Have been away for a few days.....and I'm going to start trying to catch up on a few comments here and there. The first place I wanted to look is here, to see if there was any news on ShieAnn.

I am so happy to see such encouraging news. Please know that prayers and positive thoughts will continue to go out for her.

Thanks for this update Scott. Please keep us posted.

Gail

She's as curious as Thomas Edison.

John

Hi Louis,

Still thinking about you and your family and hope the improvements continue. All good things,

Ricki

I as well. Please keep us updated.

Thought I'd check in and see how things were going.I'm curious as to how she's doing as well as everyone else, any news lately???

Therapy will be very helpful, but will take a long time. Lots of emotions to overcome. Keeping the prayers up!

Hi everyone:

Been awhile since you've been given an update. Shie Ann stood up for the first time the other day and is conversing with people now. She is still talking slowly and her vision isn't fully there yet but according to Louis, "She's back, for sure".

They are moving her to Birmingham where Louis says she'll get better therapy.

Thanks so much again for your prayers, positive thoughts and well-wishes!

Scott

Hi Scott, you are truly a wonderful and loving man, and friend..Please let Louis know that we all miss him and the prayers havent' even begun to stop or let up..not till this is all over..thanks glyn

Scott,
thank you for the good news. Thanks to all the medical professionals for their care. And thanks to God for His grace.

Amen,
john

thanks scott. i'm glad to hear things are looking up.

That's great news, Scott. Sounds like she is a fighter. I will continue to keep her and her family in my prayers.
