Tuesday's update

Hey there,

When I arrived at the hospital this morning Laurie told me she did not get a lot of sleep last night but did manage to catch a few hours just before dawn before the nurses and doctors made their rounds. She was glad to see me and even asked why I was so late arriving. I had stopped by the office before going to the hospital to get a replacement Blackberry because mine had died yesterday afternoon and I was going through withdrawal. Laurie had eaten some yummy hospital Jell-O for breakfast and in spite of that was obviously feeling better. She was able to get out of bed a few times today and it seemed to be a little easier for her each time. I brought the kids over to see her this afternoon and they were a bit apprehensive at first but quickly warmed up to the lady in the hospital bed as their mom. Laurie was obviously very glad to see them. Laurie enjoyed seeing several family members today and looks forward to seeing other friends and family after she has been home a couple days.

The doctors are optimistic that Laurie will be discharged tomorrow morning but Laurie will have the final word on that. The insurance company has authorized a three night stay but the doctors claim her surgery only warrants a two night stay. We’ll see how Laurie feels in the morning.

I’ll provide another update tomorrow evening. Thanks, yet again, for your continued prayers and encouragement!

Laurie and Forrest,

I will continue to have weekly prayer meetings at my church for you. You have put fate in the hands of capable surgeons and in Christ. With that team I know God will only give you the best outcome.

If we can help please let us know.
