Lauren Update: Lauren is in the hospital today beginning her second round of chemo. When I arrived she was patiently awaiting her grilled cheese sandwich and fries (which didn't look all that appealing when they arrived, but Lauren didn't seem to mind) La ren was in a great mood tonight, feeling good. We had one small incident occur when Lauren stepped on the tube that is feeding the chemo and kinda pulled it out. Mommy was out of the room so Lauren and I called the nurses, who came right away and hooked er back up. Lauren was cracking me up because she immediately sat down knowing what she had done, put her hands on her cheeks and continually repeated, "Oh No, Oh My Goodness" It was quite funny. Lauren is so good about getting her blood pressure and temp rature taken now. She tells them which leg to check her BP on and lifts her arm up for the thermometer. When their finished she says "whoo hooo, all done". When I said good night I'm going home Lauren said "me too!" I wish I could have taken you Lauren! fter day one of round two, so far so good. By the way for all of you out there, tomorrow, Thursday 3/16, is Incredible Kid Day. It's the third Thursday of March every year. The purpose of Incredible Kid Day is to remind adults to tell their children, gran children, nieces/nephews, etc., how much they mean to them by writing a letter to them. It doesn't matter if their too young to read. You can always read your letters to them or save them and give them to the kids when their older. So Adults, get out your pens and write those letters to your incredible kids. You'll feel good for doing it and your children will thank you for it. If you'd like further info about Incredible Kid Day, which was started by the Campfire Boys and Girls Organization, you can go to ww.campfire.org Lauren and Timmy I think you're both INCREDIBLE. O.K. your incredible too Bill & Deb. After all your somebodys kids too! I'll see you guys tomorrow. Oh by the way Aunt Nean's birthday is on Friday (3/17) She's our Italian Leprechaun. Afte all, everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day.

All, from Aunt Nean... (hope you don't mind me posting it).... Hi Guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that Lauren's test results from Monday were all ok. The tumor has not grown any and may have even shrunk a tiny tiny bit. They were checking her because she was complaining of back pain. The kidney scan was normal as ell. I would have wrote this in the journal, but for some reason I am having computer problems and I can not get into geocities to update the site. I know most of you check the journal, and would be wondering if why it isn't updated. Lauren is back in the hospital all settled in for her second round of Chemo and is in good spirits. She came by work yesterday (I have no kids in class on Tuesdays) and ate lunch with my friend Jane and I. She was happy and playing with all of the toys nd just having a blast. She looks good....she looks real good. Again I am sorry about the length between updates....it is either my computer acting up or it is geocities that is having server problems. Not sure which one. Please do me a favor and pass this email onto people you do not see above...I do not have every ne's email addresses.....Thanks a Bunch Neaner :o) Thanks Nean for the journal updates and again for this site. And Lauren, Deb, Timmy and Bill, God bless. All my love, Sherman and kids

Hi Lauren!! Well, I didn't write to you yesterday and I am so sorry! Well, Ivy had a great walk in the park today! She nearly caught up to the 3 squirrels that live in the pines. She ran so fast chasing them that she kicked up lots of dust. And now she i so tired, she is asleep on her "throne!" I hope Aunt Nean can get a picture of you dressed up in your feathers--hope she showed you how to waltz around and through that boa around you shoulders!! Pleasant dreams!! Love, Margi

You looked so pretty all dressed up in the feather boa and hats, I'm glad you let us take your picture like that so we can hang them up in our clas room- the kids are going to like looking at those pictures. Oh, and thank you for singing Rain, Rain, Go Away and the Monkey Song for me- you're a really good singer.

Hi Lauren & Timmy:) We had fun visiting with you over the weekend. Too bad it rained most of the time. It would have been better if we could have spent more time outside. Thanks for helping me feed the fish Lauren. I think they have enough food to last t em till May or June. Timmy, sorry we couldn't hit the ball around as much as you would have liked, but Lauren kept trying to get in the pond with the fish. Thanks for being a great big brother and taking such good care of your sister. Maybe you can visit or the weekend by yourself someday soon. We'll go to the park and have some fun. Bill and Deb, I'll see you on Wednesday. Good luck with the tests tomorrow. I love you guys!!!

So many people praying for you is really a miracle, one I am sure God hears. I promised every ne a big party when all this is over and you are well again. See you Monday morning.Sleep well

Lauren, great present you gave your dad *smile*. It was 80 degrees here two days ago and we expect 6-9 inches of snow tomorrow. Gotta love the weather. Tell mommy I miss talking to her on ICQ, but she definitely has her priorities straight. I know you and Timmy mean more than the world to her, as it should be. And I don't have to tell you how lucky you and Timmy are to have such fantastic parents, and even a few friends around the world you've never even heard of. What an amazing network. Take care nd keep getting better. Love ya darlin, Sherman & kids

Lauren, You gave me a great birthday present today. The Physical Therapist said that you were doing fine and that she didn't need to see you again. Thank-you for doing so great. Love, Daddy
