Prayers for you and you family.

[Laura's Babies]

Hi friends in prayer! I just have to tell you!! I am in Norfolk now and Eddie is BEAUTIFUL!!! You would not believe how beautiful he looks to "Mom"! His face has new skin that is youthful and fresh looking and with the weight loss, I swear, he looks like he is as young as his teen age sons. The epicel on his chest that looked like a patchwork quilt when I left here 5 weeks ago, now has NO seams. The cuts where they had to cut him when they poured those 40 litters of fluid in him that first 24 hours are barley visiable under the epicel. His hands are WONDERFUL!!

When I walked into his room, my jaw fell to the floor! There he was, looking at me, wide, bright eyes and grinning ear to ear at me!! I can not count how many time I had to kiss him, just to many times to count! I wanted to cry but there is NO crying allowed in his room so I would have had to suck it up to stay or leave to cry... I SUCKED it up HARD!! Ohhhhh! The joy and beauty of it was almost TOOOOOO much. I was one happy Mom, I can tell you that!

He is kind of wacky headed and they finally figured out why.... The physical therapist had ordered steroids for him and they were messing with his head... They are not giving him that anymore so he is a little more clear headed today and hopefully, it will clear completely in the next few days.

We took him outside yesterday and his daughters brought his grandkids up here so that he could see them for the first time in over 80 days.. You should have seen the smile on Eddies face when he saw those grandkids! He was one happy Grandpa!!

There is more wonderful news but I can not share until I get approval to post it on the internet that has to do with the kindness of people. So, keep checking back!!
