Update on Laurel

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for my sister-in-law. We appreciate them more than you know and they are working! Laurel was finally taken out of her medicated sleep state Tuesday night and she is doing remarkably well. She is in good spirits about the whole situation, which she does remember for the most part. She's had two surgeries, skin grafts, to her right arm and side, and has one more scheduled for tomorrow. The doctors are surprised at how fast she seems to be recovering, and that she has good pulses, even in the one that shows circulation to her right hand! Her right arm and hand were the most severely burned and there is still a question as to whether or not she'll have the function of them. She is drinking and eating on her own now, no more feeding tube, and she might get to go to the peace garden soon. That's an enclosed garden in the burn unit and in there she can actually get to be with her two younger kids who have only been allowed to wave to her through the window. So, prayers are definitley being answered and more prayers are needed as she is still in a lot of pain and has her third surgery tomorrow. James went to see her this morning, so I'll have another update soon. Again, thank you for your prayers for Laurel and her family!
