Laura meets the President of Ireland!!!


Laura had the privlige of meeting Mary Mc Aleese, the President of Ireland at a presentation made by her school in Trinity College on Tuesday!!! Laura's photo was published in one of our morning papers the next day.

An update........


Laura has been making great progress. I can't begin to tell the difference in her. She is stepping in her Rifton walker. Waving helllo, goodbye and blowing kisses. She is soooo giddy. She is still on one anti-convulsant which we hope her neurologist will begin weaning in Sept.

An update........


Laura has had her post-operative MRI. All is grand. Thank God. The neurosurgeon is thrilled. No sign of hydrocephalus. She is doing so much better and looks so well. She is weight-bearing through her legs alot now. She has started to move slowly (backwards) in her walker. The Hemispherectomy Foundation very sweetly sent her a Valentine's gift, which made me cry. So thanks to all in Texas who sent it xxx

New year, New hope




What a Chirstmas!! Everybody was well. Not a seizure in sight. It was great. Now its New Year. And I cannot wait to see what this year brings for Laura. She is soooo giddy. Taking alot more in, observing alot more and interacting alot more too. Its amazing. Sometimes we cannot believe what those damn things were doing to her. But now that they are gone she is such a different child. Laura has achieved more in the 3 months since the surgery than she did in the first 2 years of her life. Go Laura go xxx
