Just a heads up to those of you who only check in during the workweek that Shannon's website is up and running at  www.getwellshannon.com.  Blake has done a really excellent job with the site to help everyone stay informed and connected.  There, you can post more wishes, cross-post entries from this community, post photos, get status reports on Shannon's progress, and most importantly, make donations to help offset her medical costs.

To give you an idea of Shannon's need here: The bill for ICU care is $10,000 a day.  After insurance, Shannon and her family are responsible for 20% of those costs, or $2,000 a day.  I imagine that medicine, CAT scans, and other procedures only add to the bill.  So please give generously, give what you can.  If you can't make a financial contribution of your own, you might consider dedicating an upcoming feature you have to Shannon and either passing the hat/donating your earnings from the feature.  Or, a group of you might consider doing a benefit reading, race, or other kind of fundraising project.  No donation of money or time is too small to make a difference.

Thanks, guys, for your continuing support of Shannon in her time of need.
