Lori, My dearest friend. You scared the heck out of me for a few hours there. But I know you too well. I knew you would pull out of it. I told Adam so. My family and I are all praying for your speedy recovery. We love you.

Adam,
My thoughts are with you and the girls as you wait. Lori is just the most amazing person, I can't even imagine the number of prayers that have been said for her during this time.
Thank you so much for posting updates.

Lori, Adam and family,
Our prayers are with you all. I've also sent an email to members of a prayer group at St. Thomas Moore Catholic Church in Austin as well. I hope that this brings you comfort as it did us when my daughter Mary had her heart surgery. Knowing that other were praying for us helped, even if I didn't know them.

Dear Lori and family
It's such a scary time, but thank God the assist machine has been made for this very purpose and I pray it will allow Lori's heart to heal and get back to its' own beat. I am a stranger to you but am a heart valve patient, God hears all our prayers and I will pray until I fall asleep tonight and pray to awaken to wonderful news.
