Praise God!

For Laurel, that is! I just talked to my Father-in-Law and he told me the best news! Laurel is doing wonderful! She is done with her surgeries, can walk with just a little help, and as long as she does her physical therapy, she can use her right arm and hand!!!!! All I can say is thank you God! She has a wonderful attitude about it all, too. The therapist told her in order for her skin to grow back smooth on her arm she has to wear a sleeve, kind of like a leg warmer, from her hand to her shoulder for 18 months! Laurel's response - COOL! How awesome is that!? He also told me that she will be moved to the rehab center in Washington, (a little closer to home then Portland) by Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Then she'll have about 3 or 4 weeks of therapy there, and then she can go home!!!! I am overwhelmed with emotion as write this right now. I am so thankful to our God, who can do anything and in this case has done everything! Thank you all for your prayers, as you can see God does hear them and he has answered them! Amen!

I am praising Him with you, girl! That is so awesome! God, you are so kind and gracious to us- I don't have the words. Thank you, Father, for miracles, and for Laurel.
