* Kellie Brady- (posted this on her blog) Praying for a Good Reason
Our Ward was saddened to hear that one of our sweet, very young, Sisters is in a battle of Breast Cancer. I was shocked and saddened by the news. Our family, especially Morgan who loves this sister's oldest daughter, has been saying many prayers and reminding us to keep the Seamons family in our prayers. Mike and I have also been making sure that this wonderful family has been in our "husband and wife" bed time prayers as well.
This sister is one of the most compassionate sisters that I have ever meet! She is sweet and loving and loves a good Partay! She is amazing at hosting parties!
So explains the new blog back ground. Shay got me into blogging and showed me that you can print blogs into a book. I am blessed to know Shay and know that she will BEAT THIS THING AND FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!
So I am choosing to be on Team Shay! If you need anything girl let me know, and remember to tell your life coordinator that I clean toilets and anything else that is in need of!
Lots of love to the Seamons Family!
{For my family and friends, please say a special prayer for this truly amazing, giving and compassionate family, thank you a million times over}
*Shauna Seamons- Shay, I was so glad to be able to read your blog. You and your family have an amazing attitude. I love it. I liked seeing you with all the different wigs on. You could pull any of those looks off with great style. One of them even looked like your own hair. As for the MRI- I totally know how you feel. They say it doesn’t hurt but I remember thinking that I felt worse after the MRI then when I first laid down on that cold table. Mine took about an hour and I was in such pain with all those loud noises and being a bit claustrophobic I tried to sing primary songs to myself and think of all the scriptures I had memorized to get my mind off of anything but what I was going through. Then I started thinking of Christ and all He went through. Instead of doing like I did, try to get my mind off of it, I realized that He actually concentrated on it, focused on each one of our pains and sorrows, illnesses, and sins so He would know exactly what it is like for each and every one of us. That realization when it hit me, really amazed me and I am so thankful that He gets it completely. Slowly I am realizing more and more how Powerful and Mighty He is, how much He really can do for you and me and I am thankful, ever thankful for that. I love you Shay.  Shauna
*Michelle Honek- Hi Shay,  Yes, I would love to read your blog, then I won’t have to keep bothering Brett to see how you are doing J I know your diagnosis has put you and your family in a whirlwind right now, but it will get better. The first month or so was the worst for me, mainly because there are so many appointments, tests, information to digest, decisions to make, and of course sharing the news with family and friends. Once you decide on your course of treatment, things will settle down. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help you through this. I had a close friend who was diagnosed a year before me, I can’t tell you how much she helped me each step of the way. I know you are blessed with a wonderful support system…..stay strong, you will beat this. You are in my daily prayers. Hugs, Michele
 P.S. Call anytime you want to chat or we can always meet up and leave Brett home with the kids
AND
 I read your blog last night….you were right, you are very funny, I guess that’s who Brett gets it from J You have a great attitude, keep it up!! P.S. You look “great” in all the wigs; I wish I could have pulled all those different looks off.
* Amber - has left a new comment on your post "ClickClickBeepBeepHonkHonk":
Oh my goodness. I haven't laughed so hard in awhile. Is it wrong to find amusement in this?
* Elisa Hunt - has left a new comment on your post "ClickClickBeepBeepHonkHonk":
Don't forget the 45 minutes of jackhammer sound. Don't move! Is that an itch?.....
(By the way, this is Elisa. But I accepted your email invite logged in under Chris, so I guess it will forever like that).
* Jace Denman- Its Jace from Brett's office. I just wanted to ask to be added to your blog list so I can read it, you and another friend have made their blog private recently. I would make mine private too, but well I would need more than my parents to read it, ha!
I hope you are having a good week under the circumstances. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Let me know of you guys need anything!
AND
Trust me I can handle it (reading the blog). My mom has been through this and I also talked a lot about this with Michele last year.
To be quite honest when Brett gave us the news at work it literally felt like a kick in the gut. You and Brett are such good role models for not just your kids but for your friends and family. I was bummed at the thought of you guys leaving for another country but was happy for Brett's promotion. I am glad we can be here to support you and your family at this time and I know you will get through this just fine. And you will educate people along the way so there is always a way to look at this positively.
Well I will try and chat with you more later, and thanks for the add on the blog. Already caught up on some posts to get up to date! Jace
*Glenda Crump- Your family blog is so cute, I read it and looked at the pictures yesterday! The blog at the top neither I nor Krista could read since it says you have to be invited...can you help? Thanks, Glenda
*Shauna- Shay, I have a google account and tried to read your blog but it said I had not been invited to read it. So if you updated it with info from the MRI yesterday I would love to hear about it. YOU are constantly in my prayers and I just am feeling like you are going to beat this thing. So keep me posted. If I need to do something different to be able to read your blog, please let me know.
Did you get my little Easter package I sent out to you guys. I told Rock to watch for it.
Love you Shay, Shauna

*Lisa McKee- Shay, Thanks for the invite and thanks so much for writing about your experiences. You look so good in those wigs. Who knew hair could totally alter your appearance? You could be a new woman every day of the week:) My heart goes out to you Shay. You sharing your thoughts through your writing is very helpful to understanding what you guys are going through. I am so sorry this is your struggle. I pray that the Lord will bring your peace through the ups and downs of the experience. I would be happy to watch your kids during any of your appointments at your house or mine. Your girls play so good with Becky. I am free on Wednesday mornings/ early afternoon and can pick up your girls on Tuesday and Thursday about noon after I pick up Becky from preschool. I really can watch them anytime on Tuesday or Thursday. In the summer they can all come over when schools out. It works out great that we have kids that are about the same age. Let me know. Talk soon
* Cheri Davis- Hey Shay- Thanks so much for getting me signed up for your blog. I have been reading it a lot and it makes me laugh and sometimes cry but I think about your quote so the crying is very brief :). I do have to say I was with Liberty with the head shaving experience. It made me the saddest. But you are inspiring and make me look at each day different. I just wanted to let you know how amazing you are. And I love the wigs. I love the brown one. You look awesome! Keep it up girl! Love you lots! Cheri
*Christine has left a new comment on your post "Look Good.... Feel Better!":
Seriously, Shay. If anyone can turn breast cancer into a wardrobe theme for the entire family, it's you. Hilarious! You always have loved a good theme. Honestly, with all the things you've made, you should start a business - you can call it "In the Pink!"
*Kiley has left a new comment on your post "I'm in Charge Hair! (I mean Here- lol)":
I agree! You have a beautiful bald head! You look great Shay and I am so inspired by you. I love the fact that you will take charge! I love you!

* Amber has left a new comment on your post "Date with Space(wo)man: Chemo Day #2": I just love you guys. I can't believe how long Kristen's resume is getting. Quilter, Life coordinator, Cancer patient Life Saver. She might be overly qualified for everything. I can't wait to see you girls. Next month. I better get some pink.

Wow, what a bonus. I wish my legs were ever that smooth. I also love the red shoes. All women should have at least one pair of red shoes. I also love the new wigs. Both the long blonde one and the cute red head. YOU sure can pull that off. I love you with red hair. It seem to fit.
Love you. Shauna
* Treston and Shelley has left a new comment on your post "Wife #8: Short Brown Bob":
I just read your whole blog again and I have just a few things to say:
1. You are INCREDIBLE!
2. You have an INCREDIBLE family!
3. Your friends are INCREDIBLE!
4. Your attitude is INCREDIBLE!
5. You look INCREDIBLE in any hat you wear (jealous...)
6. Your legs are INCREDIBLE!
Seriously, I love you and am glad that you have such good friends and the sweetest kiddos and husband to take care of you!
* Robbie Stephens has left a new comment on your post "Call me Metal Mouth with a Bad Attitude":
Ahhh. Next time, I'll have to come over and we can be grumps together. . .If you have 2 grumps in one room, does that cancel out the grumpiness like 2 negatives make a positive? Seriously though, we love you. You and your family are amazing.
*Shauna said......I am glad the cards make you laugh. I just feel that is the least I can do as part of TEAM SHAY. But you have to know that as I attend the temple I always put you and Brett's names on the prayer roll and I also pray for you daily. YOu are on my mind, in my heart, in my prayers, and I speak of your strength frequently as I talk with others. You go girl. Love you.
* Amber has left a new comment on your post "Follow-up Ultrasound":
Hooray. I'm glad you are getting pictures with everyone. I think you have touched the lives of every nurse, docter, etc. that you have come in contact with brought this experience
* Amber has left a new comment on your post ""I'm Gonna Love You Through It"":
I wish I was there with you. I wish I could do more for you. I love you shay and appreciate the awesome attitude you have had through this. But I think we should all get some tattoos (like the guy in the video). Cancer sucks !!!!!
* Woodruffs has left a new comment on your post "Mini Freak Out & Goodbye Boobs!":
Shay, our continued prayers are with you and your sweet family! Your faith and courage take my breath away. I was sitting in a waiting room yesterday and saw this quote posted on the front desk of the Utah Cancer Center..."Once you choose hope...anything's possible." We LOVE you!

I am. So glad things went well. You have been in my thoughts and prayers all week. I can't wait to talk to you and see you next week.

* Lisa Mckee- has left a new comment on your post "CANCER FREE!!!!":

Yeah Shay how wonderful!! WAHOO! WAHOO! That is awesome!!!!! I haven't checked your blog since before we moved-our office had kind of been under construction. It was so neat to see your cancer free blog and how much I have missed. I can't believe all you have been through in the last few months. It is amazing what you have been through and your wonderful optimism through it all. You really are my hero! Thanks for being such a wonderful example of making the best of a very hard(and yes I don't have any idea how hard) trial. You, your family and the rest of TEAM Shay all are just amazing. Thanks for sharing your blog with my family. It is wonderful to be a witness to your miracle. Love you bunches! Lisa
