Dear friends and relations,

We have had a good sabbath with Andrew. Tonight, one of his doctors came in and asked if he wanted to watch football. Those of you who know him well will not be surprised to hear that he made a terrible face! I've never been so glad to see a dirty look in all my life! My great friend Pam Womack is here for a few days to help in every way.

We have another very important prayer request. Our daughter Sarah is 6 months pregnant and has gallstones. She is in the hospital for observation and treatment for pain. Pray for her and "Baby Boy". The best answer to prayer would be to wait until after baby is born to do the surgery. Thank you for all of your prayers for my three loved ones.

Love,
Laura

Resting

Please keep emailing! I come in at night and check the computer for your
words of encouragement. It means so much. Andrew had a neutral day, Jim
says. Yesterday was so busy, it seems he needed a day off. Anne is reading
The Magician's Nephew to Andrew. Next Tuesday, Feb. 6, she will be 12. She
is a wonderful young lady and a great sister.

Our next big goal is to be weaned off of the respirator. Andrew seems to
respond to men the best. Any of you men with a little spare time, we would
love to see you. We are in room 519 at Rapides Regional. I appreciate all of
you.

Love,
Laura
