From my understanding, she has high hopes and a great attitude. She is an example to me and will ALWAYS remember her whenever I'm going through a rough time.<BR/>I'm glad to hear that you might get to come home this week. I'm so glad that Devree is making good progress and I know she, as well as your family, will be able to fight through this.<BR/><BR/>With all our love,<BR/>The Moore FamilyLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224341248817372995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667497528242569016.post-1230005259398029962009-01-14T20:18:00.000-08:002009-01-14T20:18:00.000-08:00Devree sweet girl we are so sorry this is happenin...Devree sweet girl we are so sorry this is happening to you, as someone who has been sick alot and in hospitals way too much I have the greatest of sympathy for you, thank goodness for ipods, music, good books to read and moms who can hold our hands through it all, Bailey sends you hugs and love and says you look cute in your Jonas bro hat Brody is full of questions and wants to know why you got dots on your head!

Like others, we have checked periodically to get updated on the news. Technology has not only given Devree the best possible help, but it has given those who love and support your family a way to be part of the ongoing activities. Thanks for blogging!<BR/>Devree - You are at the top of everybody's conversations, thoughts and prayers. I am not surprised by the requests that Bro. Workman has had about a fundraiser for you and your family. It's a wonderful way for everyone around to show their love and support. <BR/>Todd & Shana - Make sure you get sleep and eat well so you will be able to keep healthy. Just remember we are right around the corner and can do whatever you need to have done, even walk the dog!<BR/>Our prayers are joining with untold other prayers being offered in your behalf, and I know Heavenly Father is watching over all of you.<BR/>Love, Pam & GaryCopper Hills Samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432971502784284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667497528242569016.post-3342695666627071492009-01-14T18:35:00.000-08:002009-01-14T18:35:00.000-08:00Shanna, Todd, and Devree,I've had multiple (and I ...Shanna, Todd, and Devree,<BR/>I've had multiple (and I mean multiple) people from the high school and intermediate school ask about doing a fund raiser for the young lady that has touched so many lives. So with your permission (or without if I have to) we would like to begin. You are all so love and Devree is truly an inspiration to many. If you really are against it, contact me at wworkman@lyon.k12.nv.us and let me know. Otherwise, I have people chomping at the bit. We love you.

My kids look forward to new pictures of Devree. So many people love and care for you guys. Think of all those prayers and blessings coming your way. Get better Devree! Your strong spirit and optismistic attitude will take you far. Stay positive and stay close to your Heavenly Father and he will give you strength to endure this difficult trial. <BR/><BR/>Shana-Thanks for the phone call. I laughed when I got your message. You are so right.

I'm not sure if any of you have ever seen that movie. I find myself drawn to your blog all day long. It is becoming my current addiction. Anyway, I am so glad that you have this blog. It makes it so much easier to answer questions when people ask. <BR/><BR/>I know that you already know that we are thinking about you and praying for you but I just wanted to tell you again how much we love and adore all of you.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I look back over all the things that happened when our Noah was sick and it wasn't until it was all over that I was able to see what miracles had taken place. I still draw strength and comfort from the very first blessing he recieved after he was born. It has been over 8 years but the promises of that blessing are still unfolding. Amazing the way Heavenly Father works. <BR/><BR/>Todd and Shana, you are both such amazing parents. Devree is blessed to have you. If I were a sick little girl, I would want a mommy like Shana. You all amaze me. Keep your spirits up. We all love you very much.<BR/><BR/>Marymomof6https://www.blogger.com/profile/08990540104711062936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667497528242569016.post-44694988744926673742009-01-14T12:16:00.000-08:002009-01-14T12:16:00.000-08:00lol that sounds like Devree. she's such a figh...lol that sounds like Devree. she's such a fighter, and can find a little humor in everything. i love you Devs, and you inspire me everyday!!!!! <3<BR/><BR/>~Teritammyellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01004969226457270034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667497528242569016.post-67322766276446388342009-01-14T11:45:00.000-08:002009-01-14T11:45:00.000-08:00I am so glad you have this blog to keep us informe...I am so glad you have this blog to keep us informed...that was pure, inspirational genius! I check it and recheck it all the time. I really loved it when Devs posted her own individual blog pre-surgery. I look forward to having her do that again (when she feels up to it of course!) <BR/><BR/>What would she enjoy from us? Funny stories of every day happenings? Pictures? I don't want to overwhelm her of course, but I think it would be cool for her to have something to laugh at and enjoy when she feels up to it. I'm remembering all those fun lip syncing videos we made for missionaries with Shana as the director. Like "Might as well face it you're addicted to spuds" from that Robert Palmer song "Addicted to Love" that we did when Breck was on his mission. Remember that one, Shana? FUNNY!!! I thought I might suggest something to my kids. Is it inappropriate to make tumor jokes? (Is there such a thing as a tasteful tumor joke in this situation?)<BR/><BR/>I can't imagine the anxiety you must feel, and humor might help lighten the heaviness a little, that's all. I am doing my best to send my positive, happy energy to you guys! I have a constant prayer in my heart going on for you as well. Love you!<BR/><BR/>p.s. Shana, you are a wonderful mother, and it sounds as though you are doing everything right; making sure everyone gets to really KNOW that precious daughter of yours, and making it more of a personal experience for the staff there to be able to feel what a beautiful person Devree is.....keeping a feeling of love surrounding you, keeping the "other news" as casual as possible, helping Devree to be as comfortable as possible.....I can't imagine all that you and Todd must be feeling, but I can tell you are doing an amazing job as parents in this situation.Powlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096335712147261430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667497528242569016.post-55984268213878212932009-01-14T11:24:00.000-08:002009-01-14T11:24:00.000-08:00I sure is a good thing that Devree is such a stron...I sure is a good thing that Devree is such a strong little girl.
