Dear Shawn,
Brad and I have certainly been thinking about you a lot and your mom has kept us informed about what's going on. We both hope that you have answers soon and that you can resume the life of normalcy that you're desire at IU. We're thinking of you.
Love, Lori and Brad

Dear Shawn,
I just heard from your mother about what you are going through. I'm so sorry to hear that you are burdened with this. Sounds like you have a really great doctor, though, and will be returning to good health - hopefully sooner rather then later. You and your family are close in our thoughts.
Lots of love, and best wishes for a speedy diagnosis and recovery.
Janice, Stefan, Aleks, and Derek
