Many of you may remember the card, In This Very Room, I created for my niece, Laura Triem several months ago. Laura was in a terrible accident in Colorado last November and suffered severe brain trauma. I thought it might be time for an update and a party card since Laura has worked so hard.
Laura is now walking with assistance and the use of a walker. She's also able to swim with assistance. She loves using her iPad and has updated her Face Book page. Her voice is coming back much stronger and louder although eating is still a challenge. Colorado's Channel 9 news co-anchor, Kim Christiansen, did a story on Laura shortly after her accident and was nominated for an Emmy for her piece. Although Kim didn't win, it was an honor for both she and Laura. Last week Kim and her team returned to document Laura's improvements; which are many. The story will air this coming week. Laura is a determined warrior eager to regain her health and abilities, and I think that's reason to celebrate don't you?
My card uses Stamping Bella's Uptown Girls, Pattie and Dottie, Friends Forever. They're decked out in their finest fashions, their sparkle matches Laura's wonderful personality. This one is for you sweetheart. Continue to get well. We're cheering you on!
Thank you Cindy, Fran, and all the wonderful Teapotters who cheerfully create and send encouragement to so many. I know your cards will mean the world to Laura.
Very Sincerely,
Susie Lessard ~
