Laura’s 8pm Saturday update
As usual on the weekend there wasn't much action even though Liza's drain was visibly working. We got outside at 3pm for some sunshine and heat. I talked to Liza a lot then and she appeared to listen and respond with eye movements beneath her lids, telling me she loves me and is happy for her friends' visits.
Please pray for Liza's courage. Pray that she feels the support and love that flows abundantly. Pray for the responses that brighten our days! 🙏💪💫💗

Thank you for your daily updates. I find myself looking for them every day. I am praying hard for Liza and for you. My daughter is a freshman KD and we lost my son this past November to a cardiac arrest. He was in the hospital for 8 days and I feel your pain and anxiety. Know that I am praying hard for you all and think of you constantly during the day.
Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. Liza’s older sister died in 2008 but luckily we were somewhat prepared. It’s an awful road to walk as a parent. Holding you in my heart as well
It is for sure that she hears and feels the love of everyone and of God. Love is the healer. I wrap Liza in love all the time. Bless you all ❤️❤️❤️
Thinking about you, Liza and family. Liza, I know you hear everything and feel the love from your friends and family. Tonight I'll pray for you to have the strength to provide more responses to your family. Your responses provide so much hope for all your family, friends, and supporters. May God give you the strength to tell them you're okay. To Liza's family, if you ever need anything, you know my work number. ♡
Nikki, you are a huge part of what makes Mayo exceptional
i so appreciate your daily updates! my alarm at 7:10 gives me an opportunity to stop - close my eyes and see Liza full of love and warmth - sending lots of hugs❤️
Continued prayers for sweet Liza! I’m hopeful that she’s healing while she’s resting. I’m sending extra prayers for you tonight mom. As a mom , I’m certain you’re not resting. I have so many things that I want to ask God to do ….. please God hear my prayers. Laura , Liza and family need you…. Now more than ever. I know you have a plan and I trust your plan. So many of us are on our knees begging you to heal this sweet child. I don’t understand your plan but I love you and trust you. It’s so difficult when it’s quiet and the signs are few and far between. Please have Mercy on this beautiful family ! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You know…
Continued prayers for Liza, your family, and her medical team. I look each day for your updates and praying for good news. Thank you for keeping us updated on Liza. Have you tried playing music, especially some of her favorite songs? Music is very therapeutic and helps so many people. I found when I taught Special Education it helped calm and sooth some students and helped get responses out of some nonverbal students. Just a thought.
Liza does enjoy music. She has several playlists - some created for her and others are her own.
I will continue to lift Liza and Family up in prayer. Jess and I connected yesterday at beautiful Carolina Point and gave a big hug in honor of Liza. Many people far and wide are praying ! I pray for strength for all ; peace for all and God to bring mercy. In Christ, Kelly O’Brien ( Aubrey’s aunt).
Thank you
I too awake and look for the updates… I pray throughout the day, calling for Liza to be whole and her family to rest, to feel peace, and to know that LOVE surrounds them ALWAYS🙌
Every single day, All day long I pray for sweet Liza and for you, too, Laura. Sending healing wishes with all my might. Lots of love, too.
