Feb 26 update


Laura has had her trach tube removed and can breathe on her own. She is able to walk, with help, for short distances. This picture of beautiful Laura with two of her daughters was taken last night.

She is very weak and tires very easily. But she is progressing. She still can't talk, but she can whisper and mouth words.

Yesterday, her father was with her when she became quite agitated. She took his hand and put it on her head. He said, "Are you saying that you'd like a Priesthood blessing?" She nodded yes. So, her father laid his hand on her head, and gave her a blessing. She immediately calmed and was able to rest. It was a sweet and touching experience.

Laura will be moved into a rehabilitation center this weekend. Please keep Laura and this wonderful family in your prayers. They need your faith and prayers so very much.

(P.S. Laura gave the thumbs-up for me to post this photo.)

Ayer le removieron a Laura el tubo que le ayudaba a respirar y ahora está respirando por si misma! Puede “caminar” algunos pasos con ayuda. La foto de Laura y sus hermosas hijas fue tomada anoche.

Laura está débil y se cansa muy rápido pero está progresando. Todavía no puede hablar pero susurra y modula palabras.

Ayer mientras su papa esta con ella, Laura se puso muy agitada. Ella tomo la mano de él y la puso sobre su cabeza. Su papa le pregunto: ¿Me estás diciendo que quieres una bendición de Sacerdocio? Con su cabeza ella respondió que sí. Su papa la bendijo y ella inmediatamente se tranquilizó y pudo descansar. Fue una experiencia muy enternecedora.

Laura será trasladada a un centro de rehabilitación este fin de semana. Por favor sigan orando por ella y por su maravillosa familia. Ellos realmente necesitan su fe y sus oraciones.
