Now that I am making sense again...

Sorry Laura fans for the late post, but I spent the night with Laura last night, and only slept a few hours...not a good thing for someone who really needs 7-8 to operate correctly. My sister kicked me out early this morning and sent me back to the hotel after my conversation with her around 6:30 was slurred and wasn't making a lot of sense. I thought I sounded just fine, but that's what drunk people say too...Laura had a really good night, and today the big development is she is eating! I am very relieved that she is getting some nutrition in her system to aid recovery. Last night, she was getting in and out of her bed well during bathroom breaks, which was a great sign!

Professor said this morning she will likely be released to go home on Saturday, which is amazing. We will be playing it by ear, but that is what he is thinking.

Her headache continues to be an issue, and she had a little more codeine to ease her pain so to rest more soundly. She is doing so now, and we ask that people continue to pray her headaches recede soon.

God Bless,

Chad

All in all, GREAT news. God will gradually diminish those headaches. There were so many hands in there only two days ago, that one can only imagine that Laura would have a headache. The fact that the pain is diminishing is moving in the right direction! We'll keep praying and include in that a trip home this Saturday .... God willing!
Laura, you are a pillar of strength .... God sure gives small people great strength (at least in your case)! I was thrilled to read that the MRI showed that the tumor is gone. What a relief! Keep up the pace and before you know it you'll be planning a trip to the California Wine Country! :)
God Bless.

Chad,

Glad to hear everything has gone so well. We look forward to you being able to come home soon. Hopefully we'll be able to see you next week for the fine fare at Forest Hills Inn. We'll keep praying for you and Laura. This has been a great testament to the power of prayer and faith.

So thankful to hear that you are getting your appetite back and that you are up and around. I'm still so amazed by all of this. I can't wait until you get to go home and rest in your own home. Feel better! Hope your headache goes away soon!

Love,
Alisha
