Lindy Michael Gupton Welcome to Lindy's Website. Lindy was diagnosed in August of 2003 with Neuroblastoma (Stage 3 unfavorable). Over the next 12 months she was treated with high-dose chemotherapy, two surgeries, a stem cell transplant, radiation therapy, and several blood and platelet transfusions. This website has been provided to keep people updated about Lindy and her treatment. We will be adding journal entries and pictures over time. Please be sure to sign our guestbook so that we can stay in touch.

Saturday, September 4, 2010 9:22 AM CDT Hello to all. Lindy continues to do well and is consistently getting clean scans these days. She is growing and flourishing and becoming quite the little character. We are truly blessed to be able to watch her grow into a healthy and vibrant 8 year-old with a zest for life.
A brief update on a very sad note. Grandaddy Mike (Lynn's Dad) passed away suddenly and unexpectedly Wednesday, August 25. He had a major seizure and, after several days in ICU, was just not able to recover. He was a very young and healthy 64. We are all still in shock and trying to adjust to a "new normal". Please send your thoughts and prayers to Barbara, Lynn, Courtney and the rest of the family as we figure out how to adjust to life without him. It will not be easy. He has been such a huge part of all of our lives, there will be quite a void.
While you're sending thoughts and prayers, please don't forget all of the families and friends that continue fighting childhood cancer and diseases at UNC and Duke. We still think of them all of the time. We hope and pray for them to have strength, patience, faith, and positive outcomes.
Take care,
Robbie & Lynn
