Good news! Laura is remaining stable. She had a good night. The stent in her brain is doing a good job of draining the fluids and keeping the pressure under control. Her blood pressure is normal now. She remains critical and very fragile. But, she is not having any complications for now. Please keep praying. Gil is deeply grateful for the thousands of prayers that are being offered for Laura. He feels your faith and love. Your "likes," your comments, your kind words, and your personal and family prayers are giving much strength to him and his family.
A wonderful experience happened last night.
While Gil was at Laura's bedside, one of the nurses called him away. She whispered to him, "Who ARE you?"
Gil said, "What do you mean?" The nurse said, "We feel something very special when we are with Laura. We know many, many people are concerned for her. Who is she? Who are you?"
You can imagine the conversation that followed as Gil told her of their belief in Jesus Christ and a loving Heavenly Father who cares about each one of us and loves us.
Gil told her that the reason that he and Laura were on their way to work at the Gilbert Temple Open House, when the accident happened, was because in Temples we learn how to keep our families strong, and we learn how families can be together for eternity.
One of the nurses asked if she could go to the Open House and see the Temple that he is talking about, and where Laura was so excited to work as a volunteer.
Blessings abound as Laura, even unable to breathe on her own, is a beautiful influence to those around her. Even in her sleeping state, she testifies of God and His love.
Again, thank you to all. As Gil says, words can never express how grateful he is to each of you.
