UPDATE ON LAUREN SEPT. 4/08

Lauren has made an amazing recovery so far.  10 days ago, they said she wouldn't get off the ventilator until after her transplant.  Yesterday they said it would be at least four more days.  At 1:30 today they took the ventilator tube out.  she is only on oxygen.  She can talk and is looking forward to eating, but they have to make sure her swallowing muscles are working first.  Now her wait until the transplant will be much more pleasant.  Her doctor is amazed at her sudden turn around.  I know everyone's prayers have been heard.  Please keep her in your prayers, because she still has a long road ahead of her.

Thank You All
