Hi everyone; it's Jason. I thought some of you might want to know how Laura is doing.
Slowly but surely Laura is feeling better. She is learning what she can and can't eat and just how much rest she still needs. We managed a few outings, and those were good things for us to do. Laura was determined to make it to church on Saturday and life group on Sunday, and those were sweet moments for us. If we missed some of you or seemed to rush out, we are sorry about that. Laura and I are still getting used to all of the changes and emotions that come with just seeing you all, but it has been so good to see you all and get a hug. We truly appreciate that.
Today was a day of information for Laura. I filled Laura in a little (literally a little) on just how serious her condition was/is. She did not know that she was so sick or that the doctors at one point weren't sure if she was going to make it. So that was an emotional moment for us both. It's almost like experiencing it all over again. Then, she had heard about someone else who passed away and wanted to know what happened. This was the gentleman who passed away from the same thing Laura has or had. That, of course, was terrible timing, but at the same time it helped put things into perspective.
So, things like that are taking awhile. She has slowly started to check some emails and voice messages so that she is not stuck with trying to deal with too much at one time. And she has not yet read anything we've written here in Facebook or the blog. She just asks me to let her know if someone asks for prayer on Facebook, so that's what I do. It sounds like she is going to try and start reading all of my updates soon to get a feel on our life a bit more.
As Laura moves forward she still needs prayer. She needs rest and strength in this journey. The more she learns about the past 3 weeks, the more prayer she will need. As we all know, this was a rough ride, but how all of us managed was prayer; Laura is touched by that. Laura has a couple appointments coming up in a few weeks, so we could use prayer for that as well. Again, thank you so much to all of you who have prayed and helped us out in so many ways. Our family has been so loved by you all, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I am going to do my best to continue to update you all.
