Update #56. Day +101 Lauren can socialise without the mask at last!!

Yesterday saw Lauren pass the magic day +100 since transplant, which means she can now go out in public and mix with people without the nasal/mouth mask anymore. She celebrated by spending last night with Kate (sister) and Bettina (Lauren's Camp Quality companion) at the Celebrity Tennis Challenge and met celebraties: Tom Williams from Australian Idol, Darren from the band Powderfinger and Brian McFadden, Delta Goodrum's fiancé.

She continues to do well. Still needs the wig at this stage, but her new hair has started growing again, so next update will be Lauren with her own hair fully grown!!! (be a while yet). She is picking her subjects for year 9 at Concordia this week and will be able to visit her friends at school now and lead some form of normal life.

Just a reminder if thinking of visiting Lauren, please postpone a visit if you're sick/cough/cold at all or been exposed to anyone with chicken pox or other infections as her susceptibility to catch infections is still higher than for a healthy person.
