Feb 15 update

UPDATE for Laura Laparra
February 15

We have just talked with the doctors, and Gil asked me to post this immediately.

Early this morning, Laura experienced some complications. She is having a CT scan right now. At this point, Laura can receive no visitors, not even Gilberto.

She has had a rough morning, but this is not surprising. The doctors said from the beginning that this would happen.

Gil also asked me, just five minutes ago, to tell you this: PLEASE do not go to the hospital without calling Gilberto first, even if you are considered closest friends. This is so important.

Gil's parents are there, Laura's parents are there, and her brother, as well.

Please continue to pray. Gilberto and the family know that God is in control. They pray mightily for her recovery, but their prayers always end with "Thy will be done."

What they want is what God wants for Laura. The LaParra family has complete trust in God. His ways are not always our ways, but in the eternal perspective, they are always the right way.

There is no need for panic right now. This is a time to continue praying with faith. The family still feels complete peace. I will update you as we get updates. We love and appreciate you all.

The Laparra Family is having a Fast for Laura tomorrow, Sunday, and invite all who would like, to join them.


Reporte sobre la Salud de Laura
Feb 15
Acabamos de hablar con los doctores, Gilberto me ha pedido que publique esto inmediatamente.
Temprano esta mañana Laura sufrió algunas complicaciones. Le están haciendo un CT scan en este momento. Laura no puede tener visitas por ahora, ni siquiera Gilberto. 
Esto es lo que Gilberto dijo: POR FAVOR no vayan al hospital sin llamar a Gilberto PRIMERO, aun si usted se considera uno de los amigos más cercanos. Es importante que respeten este pedido.
Gilberto sabe que muchos querran visitarlo en el hospital mañana Domingo, por favor llamenlo antes.
Los padres de Gilberto y Laura están aquí, el hermano de Laura, y las nenas.
Por favor sigan orando. La familia sabe que todo está en manos de Dios. Ellos están orando fuertemente por la recuperación de Laura pero sus oraciones siempre terminan con “sea tu voluntad”.
Lo que ellos quieren para Laura es lo que Dios quiere para ella. Ellos confían plenamente en Dios. La voluntad de Dios no es siempre la nuestra, pero desde una perspectiva eterna la voluntad de Dios es siempre la mejor
Por favor no entren en pánico. Sigan orando con fe. La familia siente paz. Estare informando conforme haya algo diferente que comunicar. Los amamos y estamos agradecidos con todos ustedes.
POR FAVOR UNANSE A LA FAMILIA EN EL AYUNO POR LA RECUPERACION DE LAURA HOY Y MAÑANA.
Laura Flores (traduciendo para Nanci Wudel)
