FAQs

Thank you everyone who has kept Shawna and the family in your thoughts and prayers. We very much appreciate everything! Thanks also for your well wishes and comments via email, through the guestbook, or blog comments. As I'm sure you can appreciate, I have not had an opportunity to go through everything, and may not have the opportunity to respond to everyone individually. I hope you understand.

In an attempt to respond to common questions, I'll do it here. Again, sorry if I missed anything, please be patient.

How long will Shawna be in the hospital?

Ideally, only 4-5 days. Average is 4-7 days, but we just have to take things day by day and see how she is doing. She is young and healthy, so that is a definite advantage. If the last day and a half is any indication, we should be on track of the 4-5 day range.

Are we able to visit Shawna?

The number one priority right now is recovery. This means she needs lots of rest. She gets tired very easily and very quickly, so all visits are quite short. I'm sure she would love visitors, but the reality is she needs some time for herself right now. We'll see how things go the next day or two and if she can see more people than immediate family. We plan on being in Sherwood Park for a while, so please be patient. If a hospital visit isn't prudent, I'm sure there will be time for a visit at the Alexanders.

How long will we be in Sherwood Park?

Probably a couple weeks, but like everything else right now, that depends in how recovery goes.

Thanks again for all your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers. May God bless you all for your support.
