Letter/Update From Laurel's Mom, October 2, 2008

Dear Friends and Family,

Laurel is being discharged today from the hospital!!  She is still far from
healed, but she is so glad to be going home.  Her husband has been trained in
bathing and dressing her burns this past week and he is pretty good at it!!  She
is feeling pretty strong and has a book of physical therapy exercises to
continue working with her right arm and hand and right leg.  She can walk and
does pretty well with her left hand.

She will be seeing the surgeon in a week to check on her grafting sites, and
will be able to do her Physical and Vocational therapy (near her
home).

Thank you all so much for your prayers and concern.  Praise God for all He has
done and will do in Laurel's life.  We are so blessed!!

Please continue to pray as the whole family adjusts to a different life than
they have had.  Please pray that the grafts will continue to heal and no further
surgeries will be needed.  Pray  for their encouragement  - her husband Rusty
has a lot on his shoulders at this time.  They are still looking for a different
home.

We love you all.

Lawrie and Lyla

Thank you all for so many prayers. I will continue to try to update this site. 
Hopefully Laurel will be able to update it soon herself so you can hear straight 
from her how she is progressing! Tiffany
