GLENWOOD — Lauralee Bardwell, a recent Centerpoint graduate who was seriously injured in a car accident late month, has shown some signs of improvement.
According to Bardwell’s mother, Susan Cox, in a Facebook post last Sunday:
“Lauralee had a good night. They have watched her closely. They are treating all of the symptoms that are from the brain injury itself until her body can maintain itself. Praise God for answering prayers. We know Lauralee’s journey is going to long and difficult. We are going to rejoice and we are going cry at times. No matter the highs or the lows we are going to thank God for allowing us the opportunity to be with our sweet girl. Please continue to pray for her brain injury to heal and for her to have no deficits. Every measure taken so far to progress Lauralee can be revived when the time is right. Thank you each and everyone. God Bless.”
