Joanne, I someone who answered a call, on I can't remember whom's site, to pray for you when you were dangerously ill after your stroke. And I've been following along ever since. God Bless you, your parents and your friends. As a Mum to two children, both of whom have disabilities, my mantra is 'It is not the hand of cards we are dealt. It is how we play them that matters. AND I will smile regardless'. You embody my mantra. Thank you for sharing your story - particularly your life up until university - which was all new to me. God Bless xx
My story/stroke speech
Here is the gist of the speech I give last week: My story Rocky Mountain Stroke Center Jubilee /October 22, 2015 My name is Joanne Heim. I am 43 years old and I have been coming to the Rocky Mountain Stroke Center for just over a year. As I think about my life story and my stroke, the word that ...
Great to read a wonderfully written and thought provoking Joanne blog post. Keep them coming!
Living in paradox
I know the dictionary definition of paradox pretty well-- "a proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth." (dictionary.com) And I'm comfortable with the concept for the most part. But I am now living in paradox and...well..., it's not so com...
I remember reading about John the nurse when Joanne was in ICU. I can remember sitting here at my computer and literally begging God, by prayer, that she would pull through so her girls wouldn't have to grow up without a Mother. As my Mum did when she lost both her parents at a young age :( I thank God for answering my prayer for your family and thank you for continuing to update the blog. May 2013 be a year of great health and much happiness for you all.

21 years (Toben)
21 years ago today Joanne and I got married. She was 19 and I was 21. And as young as we were I don't think we were really able to comprehend what our vows really meant. When we said "for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health" there is no way we could have known what that vow, that pro...
p.s. As you live no where near a cruise port (I think? Being Australian, American geography isn't my forte!!), this might be a useless idea. But what about a cruise?
We have TWO kids with special needs. And they are both very different in their needs, abilities and what they can cope with. Cruising for us is one lot of unpacking, no food to worry about, they can be as involved or not as they want with kids club, the scenery changes daily. And I feel like I get a break.
I am a holiday-a-holic. I need my next adventure to look forward to. I can understand how Joanne feels with needing a vacation to look forward.
God Bless you all.

A Year Ago (Toben)
A year ago today, January 16, we almost lost Joanne. Her inter-cranial pressure was through the roof and her brain wash literally "smooshing" itself. I have been up most of the night flashing back to that day, what we talked about as a family, about our prayers and the hours we sat at Joanne's b...
I answered a prayer request last January for prayers for Joanne. And I've been praying for you all since.
God Bless all of your family. And prayers will continue to come from our family here in Australia for you all.
