Update #18. ....Still waiting on transplant date

....Just in case you thought we'd forgotten to update this site - basically no news from either hospital yet (Adelaide or Sydney) on a definite date for the transplant. We know the donor is back in the UK from her holidays, so will update you as soon as we hear further.

Lauren is off all treatment temporarily as she fell ill a bit over a week ago and spent the weekend+ in hospital. Was the weekend she was meant to go on a Camp Quality Family Camp so was disappointed to miss that. Kate & Nathan did go and had a ball (as usual) which made Lauren feel even better (not). Other than that we're just waiting for the date to go. Good news is accommodation in Sydney is all sorted at last thanks to a fluke lead.

Regards,

Update #17. Transplant to go ahead, date to be set

Lauren has had the test on her lung again and whilst the lesion is still present (albeit smaller than previously), the mysterious dot within the lesion has gone (reducing any fear it was fungal infection), so Sydney has agreed to go ahead with the transplant. We're now just waiting for a date to be confirmed as the donor (22 year old UK girl) wasn't available for the first couple of weeks of June and as of early last week, hadn't responded to emails from the Sydney medical team. We'll update you as soon as we know.

Aside from occasional sickness, Lauren is OK and been attending either part to full days at school this last week. Still a bit weak, but getting stronger each day. Recent highlight at the end of her hospital stint for the bowel stoppage was a visit from Natalie Bassingthwaighte, lead singer for Rogue Traders and host of the TV show "So you think you can dance"
