Those times are the hardest.香蕉视频直播
Terrell said lately he香蕉视频直播檚 been giving Melania her space in the mornings before she goes to her elementary school in Langley.
香蕉视频直播淚 knew she was going to have her moments. We香蕉视频直播檙e late to school pretty much every day, but I香蕉视频直播檇 rather have her get her emotions out at home with me, and being in a good spot, rather than in school,香蕉视频直播 Terrell said. 香蕉视频直播淪chool香蕉视频直播檚 been very accommodating, as well.香蕉视频直播

Cindy has already undergone two major surgeries. Doctors released the pressure on her brain while at the same time making sure they didn香蕉视频直播檛 rupture the aneurysm.
香蕉视频直播淚t was just a matter of waiting to see if she was in a coma because of the bleeding or the aneurysm,香蕉视频直播 Terrell said. 香蕉视频直播淪he didn香蕉视频直播檛 come out (of the coma) after they released the pressure so it seemed like the aneurysm is the reason she was in a coma.香蕉视频直播
There are signs of recovery. Since emerging from the coma, Cindy is opening her eyes and can see colours and people. She香蕉视频直播檚 talking and drinking water and juice, and eating soft foods like oatmeal and soup.

These two are some of the most hardworking people I know, and this recovery will not be easy on them.
If anyone can break through, Cindy will. I am starting this campaign so that the family can concentrate on being by her side, alleviating a bit of that financial strain. They deserve it.香蕉视频直播
