I just read the following post from Maggie's Mom, and I'm in tears, because I know that I and all of you have been praying so hard, and hoping for good news. Well, we don't have good news, we have GREAT NEWS!

From Mom

Happiest day of my life so far! Maggie's labs show she is starting to make monocytes! These are white blood cells that will turn into neutrophils which are the first of Lucas' cells that will come in! It appears these baby cells are already working hard to heal because her mouth looks a little better today and she is sitting up and alert. I AM SO HAPPY!! We are nowhere near out of the woods but this is genuinely the best news we could get today! Thank you all soooo much for praying for my baby!!!!

Please keep praying. Pray for a peaceful Friday. Pray for a sense of calmness for Maggie and Lauren. Pray that they have a good day. Pray for healing.

Please upload a photo! I know that Lauren has been heartened and strengthened by the love and support. Have a look at them, you’ll feel stronger too.The page is being updated constantly as we receive submissions. You can either upload them HERE or email them to me chris.popper@townsquaremedia.com

You can make a donation to help defray the medical and travel costs associated with Maggie’s care. Maggie has been down in Boston for 3 weeks. I know there are family going down this weekend to help Lauren and Maggie, but let’s face it, gas is expensive. If you want to make a donation, click HERE for the details.

Here’s a link to a video Maggie and Lauren made when the day was going well. Click Here
