Yesterday I spent the afternoon with Lauri at her mom's hospital room. Her mom hasn't woken up from the surgery. Her vitals are good-strong strong heartbeat. We talked to her, held her hand and listened to Lauri tell funny stories. I now know how Lauri got to be so spoiled!!! ;0
I told Ms. Norma Jean that she had so many people all over the country saying prayers and sending good wishes her way. I would like to think that she heard everything we said. I know she responded to Lauri's voice by moving her head towards her.
The room is very large and private. Her nurse, Roy, sits right outside the door. It is a quiet floor and not at all hectic like, say the ortopedic ward, with people coming and going...you know how noisy hospitals can be.
Any way, Lauri wanted me to post. I don't know how it happened but Baby, somehow, managed to get herself smack dab in the middle of the bouquet I brought. Crafty Baby! and Please notice the chippy white enamel pitcher...I told Lauri I wanted to bring a quilt and hang it on the wall and add a piece of furniture or two b/c the hospital decor is so not us! the photo is blurry since I used my camera phone but I think it's all right.
Lauri and I had some good laughs, shared a cup of coffee and I know that I came away feeling a little less sad and helpless. xo lulu

Hi Girls!
I'll be praying for Ms. Norma Jean. I'm sure hearing you two girls giggling helped her enormously. I know she heard you in her sleep!
Hugs,

My prayers go out to Ms. Norma Jean. As for you two story telling girls....laughter is the very best medicine in the world, I know she heard and felt you:)

What a perfect bouquet. Sending good thoughts and prayers Lauri's way...
That baby, always the center of attention, but if she made Lauri laugh then that's great. I'm still saying prayers for Ms. Norma Jean. Thanks for keeping us informed, T
I'm so glad y'all are my friends! I'd want you to make me laugh...laughter goes a long way.
Keeping Ms. Norma Jean in my prayers and Laurie in my heart.

I so wish I could be there to help out! Keep thinking positive thoughts Lauri--I will keep you and your Mom in my prayers.
Love Ya,

You should like my mother. By the end of week 2 she was trying to decorate my room at the hosp. Good thing we didn't stay any longer than we did. Me and Bella will add her to our nightly prayers.

Thank God Lauri has you, Miss "Lulu" and I am sure that Lauri's sweet Mama is smiling at all the googfing around you and Lauri provided... you two must have been the perfect tonic.... I'm sure Ms. Norma Jean will be gaining ground soon. Thanks for letting all of us know how things are going!
