Lauren you are awesome and we all love you very much.In early March 1964, Dr. Heavenly Father has been with her every step of the way. We have seen miracles through this journey of Lauren's. Her surgeons and nurses could not believe that she recovered so fast, everyone was amazed. She was so happy!! Seven days after her surgery, she was well enough to go home.
They came to perform to the kids at the hospital but she could not get out of bed. She even had 4 members of different bands come in and give her a private little concert. She had lots of friends and her brothers and sister that came to visit her. As the days came and went she began to gain her strength back, the therapist had her sitting up and walking. The days that followed were filled with lots of special care from all the doctors, nurses and physical therapist at Shriners, she was on some strong medicine to ease her pain. She had one on one and was doing really well. She was in the special care unit for three days, where the best nurses took great care of her. It was a six hour surgery and the surgeons were able to straighten her spine from a 65 percent curve to a 20 percent curve. She was not nervous when the day of surgery came. I know that through many prayers and lots of faith miracles do happen. She had the surgery within three weeks of being accepted. Normally it takes two months for the application process and then another six to eight months for the surgery. She was accepted as a patient with Shriners Hospital, in record time. She went through a variety of test, CT scans, x-rays, blood work and more. We were very surprised but at this point she had no choice. We took her to different doctors, Primary Children's Hospital and Shriners Hospital and the verdict was the same, Lauren would need spinal fusion surgery. Lauren was diagnosed with Scoliosis (curve in her spine) in late December.
