Friends & Family

We spent the weekend with Ben & Dawn, Brooklyn & Travis, & Brady. The purpose of going to Edmonton was to see Lauren Smith and her family. Lauren is waiting for a lung transplant. She has had a very rough time this past year with her health declining drastically. She has been in Edmonton for over a month now waiting for a donor. Because nothing has come along at this point the doctor’s feel that they need to prepare for a live donor transplant. So after all the family being tested at this point the doctor’s have chosen to use her parents Rock & Shauna as donors. This has been and will continue to be a heavy burden on the family. They are a very strong and positive family and we all need to step back and follow their examples of what families are truly about. We felt bad for leaving Lauren at the hospital to go out and have dinner together, but we did take her a treat back. So as the family prepares for the surgeries in November please remember them in your prayers. If you feel that you would like to keep up on what is happening we have created a blog for them. The blog is www.rockshauna.blogspot.com. There is also a facebook group that anyone can join which is lauren smith & family group.
