#cranesforlauren

As mentioned in recent posts, Lauren was surprised this week for her 21st birthday with 20,000 origami cranes and photos from people all over the world wishing her all the best. Below are various news items (television and press) from this week. Unfortunately the 'Cranes for Lauren' group on facebook cannot be sent live and remains 'secret' because of some rule facebook has when membership is over 250. Cranes for Lauren is around 3,800 members.

Been a busy week and the cranes have certainly helped Lauren bounce back quickly from the news her bone marrow transplant (second) is not going ahead next week. We need to clarify the exact position of whether she is in remission or not with her haematologist which will happen in an appointment in two weeks. On the 'old' system of measurement, it appears she is in remission, however with a new screening now available, there are some blast cells still present <1 in 10,000. Will update this stuff after that appointment.
