Jenny is getting her liquid perkaset (I have no idea how to spell that...) 4 hours a day and that has helped to tolerate the pain... some. She is experiencing nausea from meds/no food. They tried applesauce and mashed potatoes through a syringe today, but you can imagine how that went. The physical therapist came and worked with her on a wheelchair transfer. With much help and great pain, she was able to make the transfer to the wheelchair and back to bed one time. The speech pathologist came to do some cognitive tests with Jenny. From her perspective, she viewed all as fine. She will possibly be removed to rehab this weekend and can expect to be there for at least a month.
Isabella was transferred to Columbus this morning. It is a great facility complete with gym and water therapy. She was able to take a few shuffles today with help. There will be a Cleveland Browns player (my sister didn't remember his name or his organization) stopping by to bring Bella gifts tomorrow.
Aleacia and Sophia are still at home, working on recovering. Aleacia is having difficulty sleeping and no doubt misses her twin. Sophia's face is healing and her stitches come out tomorrow.
Please continue to pray for the Laird family in this time. It has been one week today and there is much reality still to set in. You can pray for complete healing, comfort, discernment in decision making, stamina, and peace of mind. Thank you again for praying.

My wife and I are praying for Jenny and the girls constantly! Our Sunday School class, our small group, and my men's Bible study group are all praying for them, too. And we will be praying for your entire family... my heart hurts for you guys and I can't imagine what you are going through. May God grant you the peace that passes all understanding; and may He grant Jenny a painless and speedy recovery! Will continue to stay updated and keep praying!!!
