Laura was sweet enough to call me today, since it would be hard for me to reach her at the hospital. We had a nice visit, and it was so wonderful to hear her voice! Eddie is doing really great, and although they are realistic that there will still be bad days and obstacles to face, they are thankful how smoothly things have gone thus far!

While we were talking, someone brought a doggie up to Laura for her to pet ... and she loved it, as she is in pet-withdrawal right now!

Laura's grandson, came with about 18 of his youth group members one day, and surprised them in the lobby with a guitar and music. They were asked to move outdoors, and they sat on the grass and sang and prayed over Laura, Regina and the family. She said it was a very enjoyable and blessed day!

Eddie had his surgery on his hands today, which went well ... but he was (of course) pretty out of it today from that. When he is alert, he manages to keep them laughing between his normally humorous self and the effects of all the medication!

Please continue to remember not only Eddie, Laura, Regina and the rest of the family... but Laura also requests that we all remember the 10 heroic men who risked their lives in order to save Eddie's! They are experiencing post-traumatic stress right now, and need our prayers!
