Determination

Days are very full with therapy. Speech therapists are working on getting Laurence to swallow so he can eat and get the feeding tube taken out. Made some good progress today.

Laurence is so determined! He's starting to become aware of how much he needs to relearn and has moments of feeling overwhelmed. But he is a fighter. Every time a therapist asks if he wants to stop he says no and keeps going.

I tell him every day how many people are praying for us. We send you prayers of thanksgiving and love. We are both very grateful.

XOXOXOXXO

  3. When Laurence's spirit feels temporarily overwhelmed, please let him know that he's got the world's best support team right behind him, 24/7, headed by you, Christine. In those tough moments, please tell him that the uplifting power of prayer from the multitude of loving friends and family members that you both have never pauses and never ceases.
    Love,
    Terry and Lisa
