Hi~Hope all is well with everyone. I have not been on for a few days and I apoligize. I have been very emotional the last few days and couldn't bring myself to update. I am better now, just was having very sad feelings about Lauren and how much of her life she has missed out on. I run into her old friends and see how beautiful young ladies they are becoming and all that they are accomplishing and it puts a huge whole in my heart to know that Lauren should be doing all of those things with them. I also was looking at old family photos and that really put me over the edge. Lauren was the cutest little girl and was becoming such a beautiful young lady and was so quickly robbed of it. It really hit me a few days ago and I was trying to pull myself back up and keep going.............and then the unthinkable happened again to her. She had P.T. on Friday and all went well, so we thought until I noticed a bump on her collar bone. The therapist wasn't sure what happened, Lauren didn't seem to cry out or moan. So I got her home and transfered her to her recliner, she moaned, loud!!! I just didn't like the look of it, so I packed her back up and drove to Children's in San Diego. Sure enough it is BROKEN!!! I couldn't believe my ears. It unfortunetly broke at the growth plate, so now she needs to have surgery to repair it. Yep, that's right, surgery. So on July 11th when they do her tendon lengthening they will fix the collar bone. At least that's the plan. I call clinic on Monday to confirm it all. So of course I started blaming myself for wantiing her back in therapy and the Orthopedic surgeon said it was nobodys fault, that it could have happened at anytime. She has lost bone density and muscle tone, so it was no fault to anyone. She wil probably eventually have a bone density test to see how much she has lost and what we need to do so this won't happen again. So this about sums it up for now. Hope everyone stays safe this weekend and have fun!

Love~Bonnie and Lauren
