Tiffany Joiner Update
I will use this week to inform everyone about my daughter Tiffany, her accident and her progress after one week.
Tiffany fell from a second story balcony where she lives in Dubai, UAE. She fell about 25 feet. She has suffered a serious spinal injury and has undergone surgery here. They placed screws and plates in her spine. She is presently paralyzed from the knees down. Today was her first time sitting up after the installation of a back brace. It was wonderful seeing her sit up and the joy on her face. They are predicting the rehab will take months and possibly 3 months before she can walk with crutches. The rehab is not covered by insurance in the USA so we are waiting to see where that might be. The Doctor tells me she will be here in this hospital 2 more weeks. We have many questions but are having to take it a day at a time. We have been covered in prayer by many of you and others around the world. We can sense those prayers.

Tiffany is a trooper and working hard. She is surrounded by many friends here from around the world as 80 per cent of those living in Dubai are from many other nations.
I have learned from watching their service to us. We, as Christians often say, if you need anything call me. These guys see a need and just meet it without asking. What a joy. More later. I am attempting to do this on a foreign keyboard so it is very challenging. Love and Blessings, L.A. Joiner
