Laura's Day


Laura's finally feeling some good effects from the 1 liter bag of sugar water she got today. When she walked out of the hospital she didn't feel good.
This morning the inside of her mouth felt like she had chewed the sides up. They were raw. The roof of her mouth was solid white from the rash and her throat cracked every time she opened it. Her face was getting redder and the bottoms of her feet were blistered. Nothing tasted like anything and she had lost more weight. She was also cold and Albany, GA was reaching record breaking temperatures.

Anyway, they gave her the fluids and now she's feeling a little better.

Sylvia Vann made lasagna for their supper and she was able to taste it. Luckily, she made so much that Laura was able to freeze part of it and will have it again when the sores in her mouth are gone.

Steve has had a relapse of his sinus infection. He took an unusual before-dinner nap and felt much better after Sylvia's delicious supper.

Laura's hoping to be walking or riding her bike by tomorrow afternoon.

Please keep praying that the sores will go away. Our family enjoys food and it's so much more fun when you can taste it. :-)

Laura-
You are styling and profiling in that hat... I too liked it and personally, I felt like Carrie was trying to remind you of times in TN and wearing Wildcat purple.... Me
