DT10Sam Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I would like to thank everyone that has donated to Lauren's cause. We have raised just over 2200.00 and I hope that somehow in all of this that the family will be able to take Lauren to Disney World to enjoy some quality time. Lauren's family was informed that Lauren has 6-12 months left and that this cancer is terminal. The treatments are to extend some time for Lauren. Again thank you to all that assisted, I certainly appreciate it and I know that Lauren's family does as well. Kind regards, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Oh no. That's not the update that I was hoping for Sam. All I can hope for at this point is that she gets her trip to Disney World. And thank you Sam for your efforts. I don't know what else to say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdylan Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 They told us our son had 9-18 months 3 years ago we have been sent to Florida twice. The cancer even came back last year and currently (touch wood) he is doing fine they really don't know. I think it is up to the kid more than what the doctors give for prognosis some go in much less time than what they say some don't go at all there is always hope it is all we have to hang on to. We are sending Lauren some money this week since so many have helped us and I have been in contact with her father he seems like a really nice guy. I wish her and them the best I know what we deal with on a daily basis so I can only imagine how they feel. Their story is much too similar too ours ( I have said this quite a few times now). Once again thanks to the posters helping and to all who respond. Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Dylan, thank you so much for your post, it does show that there is some hope even when things look the bleakest. I an sure your support both financially and moraly will mean a lot to Lauren and her family! Sam, thanks for the update, might not have beem the words I would have liked to hear but it does mean that I have six months to a year to have a prayer answered. I'll keep trying as long as she does!

DT10Sam Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) I do apologize for the update that does not seem fair in this world. Both Laurie and I have discussed this with our son and both Laurie and I can not seem to get by without having our eyes gather some condensation. We are praying that things will turn around and give Lauren the miracle that she desperately needs. It seems odd that I worked for years at Millhaven Penitentiary and many times I have been placed in situations that I can determine the outcome of an individual's life looking through rifle sights and many times I wished that I had the power of simply making an exchange of life with some undesireable behind bars with someone as young as Lauren. I guess that is what God is for and I hope he hears my prayers. Kind regards, Sam Edited April 22, 2007 by DT10Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
