Lauren & Dr. Muge
Lauren & Dr. Muenzer
Today has been an up and down day. This morning was kinda crazy. Lauren fell asleep last night about 7 pm and slept all night and until about 11 am today. Dr. Muge came in and examined her but she was in quite a bit of pain. Dr. Muenzer then came in and examined her and she was having a lot of pain. The nurse came in and gave her some morphine and about 30 minutes later she was feeling much better. Sisters Alvarez and Cunningham came to see her today and that lifted her spirits. Dr. Muenzer came in this afternoon and talked to Lauren a long time. He told her that she was like a big 1000 piece puzzle and that even though they didn't have all the pieces put together that they would get them put together. He told her that many of the pieces look alike when you are putting pieces of a puzzle together and sometimes it takes time to sort thru them, eventually they will get sorted out and put in the right places but it doesn't happen quickly. He told her that her mother grabbed pieces from other puzzles and tried to throw them in with theirs but he had to catch them and throw them out. He assured her that even though she might not see him every minute of the day that he was overlooking everything that was going on with her and he was organizing what was going on with her. She listened carefully to everything he said and she told him that she was patient and she knows he will figure it all out. Dr. Muge will be on call all this week which Lauren was thrilled about. She knows Dr. Muge is one of her biggest champions and she told her that she and Dr. Muenzer together would get to the bottom of her pain. It is so great to see the love and faith that she places in them and I know that with their wonderful care, Lauren will continue to improve. We love her doctors and have complete trust in their ability to "fix" Lauren. They are running many tests and drawing her blood (Dr. Muenzer told her that he thought she had enough to continue giving them some..hahaha). In a few days if things are still up in the air, they will have a meeting with all the doctors to talk about where they want to go next. She seems much more relaxed tonight and feels confident about getting past all of this. You gotta love these wonderful, miraculous doctors of hers who love her and take her well being very personally! We are more than blessed...my prayers are being answered everyday. To everyone who is praying for us...we love you and feel overwhelmed by your love and concern. Thank you...you all are the silver linings that we so desperately need during these times!

Dr. Muenzer sounds absolutly amazing. I am so glad that he is able to explain things so well and make Lauren feel comfortable. Eventhough what I went through in high school with the whole mono/sleeping disorder thing is like 10000th of what Lauren has to go through, I can understand and remember how it feels when nobody knows what to do to make you better. She is a trooper and an example to me! And you are too! I don't know how you do it! I love you!
I love the way Dr. Muenzer can explain things. I like to here medical things on an understandable level. I too have great confidence in them. We will continue to pray that they will figure it out and get Lauren's puzzle all put together perfectly!
Love ya,

um, thanks for not ratting me out...I know some of those extra puzzle pieces got put in your hand from mine! I too am thankful and amazed at how awesome your doctors are. Hang in there and let me know what the CT scan shows!!!
Lauren is such a trooper - and you too Jean! By the way, where is our picture of your rainbow toenails? :) Oh, I love the birthday tickers! (I have a friend that put those on her blog...maybe I'll put them on mine sometime.)
It is apparent by the pictures you have posted that lauren is very brave. My kids have asked about her everyday since they found out she was sick. We hope she feels better soon. By the way your pictures of noah are beautiful!!
