Friday, October Nineteenth Two Thousand Twelve

Today was a better day for Lauren.  She only had one procedure so she got to rest a bit more.  The doctor drained some fluid from her left lung to help with her breathing. Lauren had some friends visit who brought balloons and gossip magazines.  The balloons really brighten up her room.  

Just an FYI, Lauren is in intensive care right now and flowers are not allowed.  Therefore, don't send flowers :-)  Once we find out where she will be permanently staying for a while, I will link the address if you would like to send a card.  

For those of you who may not know, Lauren just started a new job about six weeks ago.  Lauren was devistated to already have to miss out on work with just having started her new job.  Today, she spoke to two of her colleagues who are both cancer survivors themselves.  They insisted that beating this and getting healthy will be her new full time job and will support her in every way possible.  This comes as a great relief to Lauren.  Her company will contract her job out and when she is ready to come back she can gradually re-introduce herself in to the work place.  We could not be happier!
