Update on our girl:
Lauren had a follow-up with the pediatrician today. Her lungs sound much clearer! Yippee. She will continue her antibiotics for another week and we will be following up a chest x-ray in about ten days. Her horrible diaper rash is also looking much improved over the last couple of days. She was soooo uncomfortable changing diapers, so that is a huge relief. Poor thing, we are still giving her medication and respiratory therapy every couple of hours and that will continue for a couple of weeks. But, we certainly won't stop something that appears to be working.
As you can see for yourself in the attached photos...Her color has also improved...she looks more like her cute little rosie self. Lauren had an allergic reaction to the sheets and gowns at the hospital. Her skin rash from the allergy is much improved as well....nothing but satin and cotton for this little princess! :)
I also dropped in a photo of Lauren's view in the back yard after our beautiful dusting of snow this past week. Hey, here in the south, we get pretty excited about those 1 to 2 inch snowfalls...they are few and far between. Our little guy even brought inside a snowball for Lauren to experience it too. I don't know how families with special needs kids manage in the northern climates. It is so hard to push a wheelchair in the snow!! I honestly don't know how you do it.
Hope all is well for those of you viewing the site. Thank you so much for your continued prayers.
I would also like to add a prayer request to your list:
There is a ten month old little baby in our church...Tillman Chesney...who could use your prayer support. Tillman received a heart transplant this week. Please pray that his little body is able to accept the transplant and that God will restore his health.
Love to all,
Cindy :)

WE are praising GOD for Laurens healing! As I mentioned before I have about 60 choir kids on Wed. nights and we are trying to teach them the power of prayer and what a blessing it is to lift others up. Most of these children have never even met Lauren but have taken her right into their young hearts and have lifted her up in prayer. Wednesday night one of my precious 5th graders showed me something she had written about Laurens and I'd like to share it here.
Baby Lauren is a little girl who has long red hair and beautiful eys.Baby Lauren has a brother,mom and a dad just like most people but unlike a lot of people she loves life. She is happy to be alive. When she hears a song she likes, she kicks her feet. Baby Lauren has something called Sanfilippo Syndrome. It makes her unable to walk, talk and do a lot we can do. But she still loves to be alive. She loves to go outside and sit by a tree. Baby Lauren is in a special chair so her mom and dad can push her around, so she can see the world. People say God put her on earth so she can get people closer to him. One time on Wednesday night at church someone said to pray for Baby Lauren. She was not doing well so pray for her so she can come home. Soon after that, she was in the backseat of her mom's car going home to get in her own bed to see her own house and to sit by her own tree.
Written by a precious 5th grade girl who has never met Lauren... Just heard other children's stories about her and seen pictures that capture Lauren's life as it was and is today.
Our angel Lauren continues to touch live today. Thank you God for sending her into our lives.
