MRI RESULTS
When the doctor looked at the MRI results, he looked at Steve and Susan and said... "This is incredible!"
After the crying stopped, he asked "Do you realize how amazing this is, considering what she's been through?"
Basically, the doctor says that the MRI shows only that small amont of fluid that the CAT scan showed on Shea's brain... And no other damage.
Now we can say that 2005 had TWO Thanksgiving days!
We won't know for sure until Shea is actually up and around, but for now... this is a very good sign.

PRAISE HIM!
That calls for a double cappuccino for Shea in her IV bag. God is good - - - all the time.

Shea, I am praying for you daily. Our Lord is working through you and it shows. Though I may not know you as well as your other friends and family, but my heart went out to you and the others when I found out.
Your recovery is the second miracle that I've witnessed in my lifetime. The first being my Preacher's Sister being completely healed of a rare cancer.
My friends at Esther Christian Ladies Message board have been praying for you as well. I just finished listening to one of your songs and you have a beautiful voice. I just pray that God will continue to heal you so that I may hear that beautiful voice of your's perform live.
Continuing to pray for you dear sister in Christ.

This is awesome.
God is so amazing.
Shea,
I've been praying so hard for you and for your family. I wish I could get down there to visit you, but with school and everything, I haven't been able to. I really just wish I could talk to you! You are being so so strong, Shea, and I know that you are going to come out of this and be even stronger! As soon as you're better, we're going to hang out again. I can't wait to see you. Stay strong & know that we're all praying for you!!!
Love,
Lauren Kelly
p.s. (for the Hickoks)- I have some great photos of Shea and Michael, I'm not sure if you've seen them or not. I am one of Any Given Moment's photographers, and I took some wonderful shots at the show two weeks ago in Conyers. I can e-mail them to you if you'd like...if at all possible you can contact me at:

“Forever With Us”
by Sara Bachtel
Dedicated to Shea and her family
Thoughts fly, tears fall.
Is God really with us all?
He watches you when you’re asleep.
He cares for you when you’re awake.
He watches you in times of sorrow.
He never stops loving you,
Not yesterday, not today, nor tomorrow.
So when you’re all wrapped up in tears,
Nothing’s comforting to your ears,
Just remember God holds us tight.
And with our permission,
Takes away the darkness
And brings in the light.
Shea,
I wrote this poem right after I got the news you were in the hospital. I tried to put what I felt God had told me on paper. I will be praying for you. I hope you enjoy "Forever With Us". I love you. God bless you.
Love Sara
Praise God! Shea, I am SO happy to hear of your progress. I am continuing to pray for you and your recovery. I'm listening to your beautiful song right now...you are such a talented young woman. Hugs to you and your family. We are cheering you along every step of the way.
Lots of love,
Amy Thompson

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Shea, sweetheart, you are such an amazing, sweet, strong, and beautiful person. You are constantly in my prayers along with your family. God bless you.
Praising God for the great news! He is so amazing! Shea, God is using you, even in this time of hardship to minister to little first graders of His faithfulness and healing power. They are also seeing the amazing power of prayer. We'll keep praying and you keep on getting well! Love Ya! ---Your "old" first grade teacher, Mrs. Noland
Shea,
It puts a smile on my face as I listen to you sing, listening to you sing was always something I loved! I love hearing all of your updates, as days go by and God continues to do miracles in you. As you continue to get better I keep praying that I can have a miracle too, I want so deeply for you to be at my wedding in March... Thats right, I'm getting married! Can you believe that our group of friends is starting to get married? Gosh, I still remember the first time I came to SBC and to winter camp in Junior High, and you sat by me on the bus, I was captivated by your heart for Jesus. You and Shiloh and Kyle showed me that there are truly amazing people out there, and I am so thankful for your friendship. I have been asking God to make it possible for you to be healed and able to come to my wedding in March. I know that The One who can move mountains can heal you. I love you so much Shea. Keep fighting.
Love,
Jess DeLisa

Shea and family, I'm praying for you! i know you don't know me, but I go to KSU, and I am praying for you just the same! God can do miracles! HE can do all things...
im real sorry to hear your guys story i lost one of my really good friends a couple of years ago in a car accident. I'm happy to hear that she is doing better. even though i dont know her she will be in my prayers.

-Chris
Please stay strong! My name is Lauren Hansen, and I am also Mike and Kyle’s step-cousin. My aunt (Susan Huckabee) just sent me the link to your webpage, and I am very amazed on how far you have come. May God continue to watch over you and your family and help you get better! Please do not give up hope!
-Lauren
Shea,
I praise God for the wonderful MRI report. You taught me something today! I was thinking about you and about how God is being glorified in your body. You are totally yielded to Him and His power is showing in a mighty way. Granted, unconscious is a pretty severe way to be yielded to God, but I felt Him say to me "Yield yourself to me, and I will be glorified." I just know that when you fully realize how He has worked in and through you, you will be happy to continue to consciously yield the rest of your life to Him.
Your songs and voice are beautiful. Keep yielding to the healing of our awesome, powerful God. He is truly being magnified in you.
Love,
Betty Anne
PRAISE GOD! I love you Shea (AKA my all time FAVE role model) cant wait to see you! We love you soo much!
"I Pray for Shra"
<33Megan Hoag
What wonderful news! This truly is a time of thanksgiving.
"Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.
The Lord lifts up the humble;
He casts the wicked down to the ground."
- Psalm 147:1-6
Jesse,
I want you to know that you've been prayed for a lot since this accident happened. I imagine it must feel like your life is different now, and your family is really hurt, but I hope you don't feel like all of us out here aren't thinking about you, and praying for you. You are wonderful, Jesse, and I hope that you feel God near you as He continues to do miracles on Shea. Everything really is going to be OK...
All Our Love,
Hayes
Dear Shea,
You might not remember me. I am one of Mike’s high school teachers--we’ve only met a couple of times at AGM shows and a few NGHS events but you always made a wonderful impression. I am sending greetings and best wishes from all your friends at North Gwinnett High School! Know that you and your family have been constantly in our thoughts and prayers—you literally have 100’s of Bulldogs on your side, cheering for every victory you will experience in the coming months! I was thumbing through some of my school materials and I found a short poem that reminded me of you. . . . .
Very Impressive Person
She greets everyone with a smile
And a hearty handshake;
And makes you feel she means it
When she says she's glad to meet you.
And she makes you glad you met her.
She walks with a sprightly step
And speaks with a laugh in her voice.
She listens with interest
And speaks with conviction,
And makes you feel you've known her all your life.
She doesn't seem to try to impress,
Yet she's most impressive.
She never tries pressing to persuade,
Yet you always come away convinced.
She's the kind of girl we enjoy being around
Because she is what we all secretly would like to be-
Someone who enjoys being herself.

Keeping fighting Shea and we'll all look forward to reading more good news from you!
Most Sincerely,
Jim Stewart
Shea we love you and your in our prayers. Stay strong!

Dear Hickok Family,
I continue to pray for peace for each of you and wisdom and knowledge for the doctors that are helping the process of healing Shea's physical body. There is no doubt that the doctor's are having lots of help from the most powerful healer of all. Everytime I read this blog, I am so touched by the power of the support and comfort from people around the world. I am blessed to know such a wonderful family. You are ministering in ways that I am sure you never imagined and precious Shea is the reason that we have come together to pray, sing, cry tears of joy, listen, be silent and glorify our Lord and Savior. All of those years of planting those seeds of faith are flourishing and Shea is touching each of us in her own special way. Praise God for another wonderful day!

Dear Shea!
Girl friend you are something else! I am SO proud of you AND isn't God amazing!!! Listen Miss Shea I am expecting you to continue getting better fast. You have a huge purpose in life and you just go laying around in the hospital.lol Lets be real here....you have to get up and get your hair done, put your makeup on and sing with that beautiful voice of yours. There are so many people praying and cheering for you. I wish I could be there with you. I'd just go on and on about all the girl things we love to discuss and you know I would! So Miss Shea we know God has amazing plans for you for he has done great things already. Keep up the fight girl. Love you, Karen Moss
Shea-
I get chills thinking of the testimony that you will be able to share some day soon! God has shown in so many ways that He is not through with you here on this earth and that He has GREAT and MIGHTY things planned for you and I am so excited to be able to witness that!! I hate that this has happened to you and I know that you still have a long road ahead of you- but know that not only I but SO MANY PEOPLE are praying for you constantly!! How wonderful it is to hear all of your good news- TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!
"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.....
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-29,31
Hang in there Shea-shea!! I miss and love you!!
Paige Hayes

Shea! Shea!
WOW! You go girl...... God is great! I know Jesus is your side-kick every step of the way. We're excited to see Him work so fast and we can't wait to see you soon and hear your wonderful voice. You have touched thousands of people over the last few weeks and I know Jesus will enable you to reach millions with your beautiful voice.
We love you dearly!
The Walls
Our God IS an awesome God...and He REIGNS in you Shea. Praise Him for answered prayer!
Dear Shea,
I have never met you but am a former member of SBC music ministry and will always be thankful for the years your dad served.
I have beem monitoring your progress ever since I received the prayer request from Bo Whittenton...a dear friend from SBC.
Your progress has been an awesome testimony to the power and might of our Father...and to the power of prayer.
I've listened to your "Song" and pray that the words are coursing through your body....I believe that through music we not only worship our Lord but He also speaks to us.
It will be my priviledge to continue to pray and to be a part of this awesome testimony.
Judi Comstock
This is great news! Shea-we pray for you every day and read your updates every day too...and this was an awesome update! Exactly what we prayed for.
Matt and Karilee (Beard) Harkema
Steve,
You may not remember us from Heart to Heart days, but DeDe let us know of the situation. Deb and Russ Barnes (and their church)are praying in San Jose, CA. Our home church in Clovis, CA is praying, too. Dave, my mom (Jeanne Merritt), our two kids, and I just relocated to Iowa. We're praying, too. We shouldn't be surprised to see God do miraculous things. He loves you. Stay strong in the Lord. Joy Bauman
Psease know that I and my Sunday School class from the First Baptist Church of Woodstock GA are praying for you. One of my Co-workers Denise has a daughter that knew Mike and dated him for a while. I have been praying for Shea in this.
It is an honor to lift you and your family to the throne of God
Shea,
I am so happy to hear your progress! I have been praying for your continued healing every day! I know that God does amazing things. Just this past summer my family went thruogh a lot, but God was always with us the whole time. You have the support, love, and prayers of so many people. we love girl!
Vangie Orr
P.S. I love your songs they are so beautiful, you have so much talent!
Steve and Susan,
I just wanted to share a portion of my favorite song of all time. It's a part of Every New Day by Five Iron Frenzy. It has brought so much encouragement to me and I hope it does to you too. Although the whole portion doesn't relate, I tried to bold the parts that stick out.
Man versus himself.
Man versus machine.
Man versus the world.
Mankind versus me.
The struggles go on,
The wisdom I lack,
The burdens keep piling
Up on my back.
So hard to breathe,
To take the next step.
The mountain is high,
I wait in the depths.
Yearning for grace,
And hoping for peace.
Dear God...
Increase.
Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again.
Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition, without a beginning or an end.
Here's my heart, let it be forever Your's,
Only You can make every new day seem so new.
I'm praying for you.
-Deric Miller aka "Peanut"
Shea, we're praying for you and we love you. You're doing incredible.

Dear Shea,
I just heard on Saturday about your accident. I am very sorry you had to experience such a tragedy but I am very happy to hear that you are making such great progress. It is no surprise because you always were such a strong person. You're in my prayers Shea Stahrr!
Love always,
Rachel Burton aka Rachel Rhombus

I love you so much.

Sam Wade
Hi Shea love...so your dad and I sat and picked out the image for your CD cover tonight...if you like it you can thank me...if not, take it up with him. =) I loved getting to sit in with you today and just hold your hand....you are a precious girl!
Steve, Susan, Luke, and Jesse....if the only reason I was brought to Atlanta was to get to know and be friends with your family then it's all worth it! You guys are amazing.
Love you all,
Sarah Snodgrass
I just counted... there are 564 comments posted so far. That must mean millions and millions of goosebumps for your Aunt Liz.
I'm thinking of the day, maybe a few years from now when you are traveling the world in concert singing praises to God and leading hundreds of thousands in worship. You will likely have the chance to tell your story. And when you do, you can mention this library of comments and words of praise to the Father for what He has done that accumulated until you had to tell us all to stop. This is what it's all about... and it's what I think Jesus meant when He said "you are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden".
That's you.
I think it was Christian (who plays the round things) who said you were named after a boulevard. Maybe... but when I think of you, I think of a whole city on a hill -- because I've never seen anything quite like this. Not only your "God only" recovery but the whole impact on the body of Christ, all while you are sleeping.
Steve and Susan, we're praying for you and we can't wait to see you again.
Luke, we're praying for you too. You have been more solid than anybody I can think of right now.
Jesse, we all love you. You have had the perfect family to show you the way and I know you're going to carry that "Heritage of Gold" for a very, very long time.

Dear Shea & Hickok Family,
I received an e-mail asking for prayer and giving me a link to the blog. Eventhough we do not know each other, it appears that we are in the same family of faith through Jesus Christ. What I have read, it sounds as though your faith is strong. But I know that in hard times we may feel weak. When we are weak, He is strong. Continue to look to Him and trust Him.
In His Hands,
Pastor
West Monroe, La.
Shea,
Whenever I talk to God, you are in my prayers. You have Greater Atlanta Christian School praying for you. We know that God is using your trial for MANY purposes. He has already used YOU in me. Remember when we rode go-carts at Malibu? and ours just died? then some kid just totally ran into us, on purpose! you just gave him a gorgeous smile, and he drove off wondering. that just explains your personality. all of my friends are amazed and awed that such a "young woman" could make such an impact for God. they hear your cd and know that you are a child of God. they hear me talk about you non-stop, and they tell me that you must be AWESOME. and you are. I love you!
Hannah Harte
Good Morning Sheaster...
I am listening to your CD and it just brings me to tears because it is so perfect. I love your sweet voice and I love the words..."you are the God above all heavens, you are the one who spreads the sky, and I will never cease to praise you, you are the God in me!" He is such a big and awesome God and He is in you doing god-size things inside of you sweet girl!
Ella and I pray for you in the morning together and look at your
picture and this morning she said "shea!". Yes she said shea before mommy but thats o.k. We love you so much and I cannot wait to just give you a big hug. Your my girl sheaster..
Love,
Jenny Ingram
Good Morning Sweetie
We are so glad to hear of your wonderful progress. The Glory of the Lord has shown around you. We are in prayer as you continue on your road to recovery and the upcoming surgery.
Steve, Susan, Luke, Jessie
We continue to lift prayers up on your behalf. May the God of Strength continue to strengthen you at this time. He has performed great things.
Love to all
Kathy and Keith
W O W ... I am so thrilled! The boys will be too when they hear about this.
God is SO faithful. What a beautiful relief...what a spectacular answer to prayer!
I love Psalm 116:1-2...thanks for that, Bo (whoever you are...you are the bomb!!!)
What an amazing work we are all seeing God do...just witnessing this all brings tears to the eyes.
We love you Shea...be strong...we're the largest contingency of cheerleaders ever assembled in the history of the world...praying...cheering...
praying...cheering...
