To update you all, Laurissa is in the hospital sence nov. 16th she is having trouble keeping her blood counts up, platlets was down to # 2 when taken to the ER... They got them up to a 15 then they dropped to a 5.they said she was on the critical list when brought into the ER.. My daughter Lisa and I have been working and planing on a Benefit for Laurissa for months. We had it nov 19th. Laurissa was so upset that she thought she would miss it. the doctors gave her a medical pass to leave the hospital go to the benefit and come right back to the hospital. She was so happy she could do that for a few hours,but it took alot out of her, she is so weak and tired !!!We raised over $7000 for her...Her husband is still off work with his back surgery, still doing therapy, hopefully going back to work soon. Laurissa is going to have bonemarrow test done mon.21 or tues.22 to try to fined out why her counts won't stay up.I'm so scared and worried for her.I know things are in Gods hands and I'm praying so hard ,please pray for her, I know you all are ...thanks for keeping her in your prayers.I will try to keep you updated as I know you all care so much...I've been so busy working on the benefit or running Laurissa to chemo & labs and Drs.appointment I haven't had time to get on the board ,but I will let you know what the tests show.You all are in my prayers, to each and everyone have a Blessed and Wonderful Thanksgiving...I will tell Laurissa I posted, she talks about so many of her pink sisters that I feel you are family...Laurissa sister ,Kathy

    Kathy, as you can tell from the posts on here, the pink sisters have all been worried and concerned for Laurissa, as we hadn't seen her post any update. I am so sorry to read that she has been in the hospital.

    What a wonderful sister you are and what a wonderful daughter you have to sponsor a benefit for Laurissa. I know money was one of her concerns with her husband's surgery. $7000 is a lot of money! I want to personally say thank you to you and to Lisa for doing this!

    I will be praying that with the bone marrow test, her doctor's can find out why her counts won't stay up. Please keep us updated as to her results Kathy.

    Laurissa is so amazing and so courageous and we all love her! Please do let her know that we are all praying for her.

    Thank you so much Kathy for posting today. Laurissa is family and loved by all.


    Love, Sue

    Kathy - I appreciate your
    Kathy - I appreciate your update so much. We care so much for
    Laurissa and I've been so worried about her with this new chemo
    she is getting. I know the proceeds from the benefit must give
    her some relief from extra worry. Every woman needs a sister
    like you! Prayers will continue for her and her husband, of course
    and I am sending her love and positive thoughts. Thank you again
    Kathy. God bless you all.

    Luv & hugs, Teresa
