What's Happening With Laura Cook

Laura 2012

Trying to deal with all the hoops that this involves, trying hard to get her transferred to UAMS.  We have the flight people lined up.  Need prayers for two things:  weather to get better here and the path to L.R. and for a bed to open up at the Neuro ICU at UAMS.  We have people working on things both here and in L.R.  Laura is no better and is actually worse in some ways.  She is fighting.  She still has not opened her eyes and spoken, however, she moves alot on her right side and moans and groans in pain and discomfort.  It's important for us to go back to see her during the visitation hours, which are very strict here, but it tears us up to see her in this condition.  Please pray also that she will survive the airlift once it can happen.

Things have not gone well here.  Laura's condition is the same, critical/life threatening.   We are getting the ball rolling toward getting her air lifted to UAMS.  Please pray that this will happen and that Laura survives the trip to Little Rock.  She MUST get back to HER doctors who know her history.  We are losing ground here and must get her to UAMS.

Laura Cook remains in the ICU at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport. She is conscious and responsive, waiting to have an EEG and MRI before decisions are made about keeping her there or transporting her back here to UAMS. Miles is on the way to Shreveport in his car. 

Please continue to hold the Cook family in your prayers. We'll keep you posted.
