Lauren is fighting her way out of the coma! Last night, it was as bad as it could be. The family was told that if she survived, there was no way to determine what her brain function would be. All of this heartache and fear, is because she was either accidentally or was intentionally poisoned with antifreeze in a dorm room at college. Late this morning she began to respond to hand squeezes, the respirator was removed and she began to fight to regain consciousness. There is hope. It is a very very good day to be alive.

It is amazing how an e-community of complete strangers can help. Her family is so very gratefull for the miraculous gift they have been given. I haven't told them about all of you that were praying for Lauren's recovery. Thank you all.
