Tragedy struck our family again on Tuesday when my darling niece, Lauren, was diagnosed with cancer. We've been noticing that she has kind of a poochy belly and it has appeared to be getting bigger the last few weeks. Kristin, her mom, took her into the doctor on Tuesday because she thought she felt some sort of mass in her stomach and after an xray they told them to go straight to Primary Childrens. After a CT scan and an Ultrasound it was determined that she had a large tumor in her kidney, 12cm x 9cm! Wednesday afternoon they took her into surgery to remove the kidney and the tumor. They also placed a line in her chest for her to start her chemo therapy through. She will be in the hospital until the biopsy comes back to determine what kind of cancer it is which will determine what kind of chemo she will go on. Thus far her prognosis is looking good and we hope and pray that it stays that way. Keep her and my brother's family in your prayers.

I will keep her in my prayers. She seems like she is a tough little girl, hopefully the chemo won't slow her down.
Wow. I can't believe that. We'll definitely pray for her! How old is she? I'm so sorry!
Lauren is 2. She is 5 months older than Riley
