I just said the same thing on Nolan's site. I think after the first few years of intense updates and something going on all the time, it is kinda lonely out here. Not that I want to go back to all the drama, but it is nice to know people are still out there thinking of you. I want you to know I may not sign in often but I do check the site and enjoy reading the updates, I call it keeping up with my kids. I feel disconected with a lot of the hurler families but there are a few of you guys that I will always keep up with. Thanks for updating!! Love, Nancy Nancy and Nolan www.caringbridge.org/co/nolanramsey <samdramsey@comcast.net> Erie, Co - Wednesday, October 25, 2006 3:03 PM CDT Dear Beth Anne, Just wanted you to know that we love your updates. Please continue Laney's site. You and Laney are such an encouragement for so many MPS families. I still check in on you and other MPS families. It somehow keeps Kaylee's Spirit even more alive. It helps me to see what she could have been... and I smile. Knowing that I may not have her physically here with me, but it helps knowing that there are others out there that are doing well. With all our "Hurler" babies.. they still have a little look that is the same. I can see Kaylee in all of them. Anyway, sorry to ramble. We are praying for your upcoming trip to Duke. Praying that everything goes smoothly with NO complications. Love and prayers to you and your family, Stacey Krause <kayleespromise@msn.com> - Wednesday, October 11, 2006 12:57 AM CDT Hi Beth Anne~ I have been searching every webpage I could find to find Laney! I could not remember which MPS child it was that was diagnoised in utero and was the youngest transplanted child that I had heard of. I just emailed someone this morning asking if they could remember who it was that was 9 weeks old when she had her transplant.... I am SO thankful that I found your page! PLEASE do not stop your updates! Yes...they are very helpful! Someone actually gave me your website when Hailey was first diagnoised at 3 1/2 mo. to give us hope. Hailey is 6mo. post transplant and doing well. We are now faced with another transplant. Hailey now has a newborn baby sister, Makayla who has also been diagnoised with MPS. She is scheduled to undergo her transplant sometime this month. She is 2 1/2 months old. By keeping your webpage updated, even if it is only every 3 months or so helps us who are facing transplant or are post transplant. Laney is such a beautiful little girl and seeing her pictures with her adorable smiling face and reading her progress gives me much hope for both of my grand daughters. Again, Please keep up your updates. I will bookmark your site and check back again soon. I will most likely be there when you arrive for Laney's studies as for I will be staying with Makayla. Please if possible, contact me via email to let me know when you arrive. I hope to get a chance to meet you both! God bless & have a great week! Hugs & Prayers~ Jan Chapdelaine Mimi (Grandma) to Hailey & Makayla Chavers www.caringbridge.org/visit/haileychavers www.caringbridge.org/visit/makaylachavers Jan Chapdelaine <jannyjo@cox.net> Virginia Beach, VA USA - Sunday, October 1, 2006 8:57 AM CDT Please keep up the updates if at all possible. You don't know me, but I keep up with your updates and you are in my prayers. I put Laney's website on my son's website to hopefully get more people to pray for her. http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/b/bubble/ God Bless! Julie Leonard <ajulie4u@yahoo.com> Mocksville, NC USA - Tuesday, September 26, 2006 10:57 AM CDT Here I am checking your page. I am sorry you are feeling so anxious about your trip to Duke. Can they not use another kind of sadation med or give her something for vomiting before she wakes up. They have done that for Andrew. Is the MRI completely necessary? Do they know how sick she gets? I am sure you have been through all of this. I love the fall picture!!! How beautiful. It makes me want to go clean up around here so I can get my fall things out. Andrew is supposed to have his port out on Fri. I was supposed to be last fri but he got a cold and then on Thur I found blood in his ear. Now he has an ear infection and it looks like his tub is out! Shoot. Another surgery. Just what we needed. I think they should look in to gluing them in next time. Good luck at Duke and I hope the sadation goes better than last time.

Laney is a doll! My grandbaby, Hailey has MPS and had her transplant at Duke on March 1. She is doing very well! She has a baby sister who is due on July 17. We don't know yet if the baby (Makayla) has MPS or if she is a carrier, but just reading Laney's gives me such hope for both of the girls. Makayla will be born at Duke and they will immediately begin testing to see if she has MPS. If so, they will begin everything early as possible like they did with Laney. Laney is such a cute little girl! I just love the ladybug costume! Enjoy your summer and watching her play & just being a child. They grow up too fast! Be blessed!

Love, Cousins Brady and Katie (by Brady) Biggs <tkmb111@chartertn.net> Rogersville, tn usa - Saturday, October 30, 2004 2:01 PM CDT I am so glad to see an update. Laney looks great and I am glad your father is still safe state side for right now. I too am so sad about Jordan. I was so sure that being so young would make things so easy. I wake up at night and pray for them. I thought of you today because we are heading to Dr. Escolar's office next Tue and that is where we saw you-just starting out. Today I was making something and I needed a zip-loc. I had saved all of the zip-locs that our meds were delivered in when we lived out-patient at Duke, so I headed downstairs to find one. I pulled one out and saw the drug name and the date (so long ago) and just started to shake and cry. It can haunt you for a long time (maybe forever) in so many different ways. It is good to know to expect it and that we all deal with it. I am so thankful when I look at Andrew.

Love, Carrie, Patrick, & Jordan Carrie Horton <iteach2u@hotmail.com> Decatur, IL - Monday, October 27, 2003 7:25 PM CST Hello, We are looking forward to finally meeting you. Let me know when you get here, my cell phone is on my website. Alicia & Tommy Bennett http://caringbridge.org/ca/bennettboys/ <Lumberhead@twinwolf.net> - Friday, October 24, 2003 0:27 AM CDT I had originally planned to visit as many caringbridge sites as possible, and leave some encouraging words, prior to my daughters passing. Unfortunately her passing came sooner than we had expected, but longer than any of her doctors expected. Another angel takes flight. My daughter Pam had a brain tumor and was fighting the fight since November 4th, 2002, after the birth of her daughter (Casey Morgan). My youngest daughter, Karen, set up a caringbridge website for Pam. Karen's friends mother shared a prayer with us, that I would like to share with you and Laney. It's called DON'T QUIT: Don't Quit - When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit - Rest if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.(Just call on Jesus). I would also like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam: If you were a star That wasn’t expected back In the universe For a thousand years, I’d wait. If you were the sky And everyone went inside When you got sad And started to rain, I’d stay. And if you were a peach And the world decided to get rid of all peaches, I’d pick you up, Put you in my pocket… AND KEEP YOU. Prayers have scientifically been proven to work. REMEMBER NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. You are in our prayers. GOD bless you all. Frank father of ANGEL Pam (www.caringbridge.org/ny/pamostrowski) <frmurato@nyct.com> SYOSSET, NY USA - Thursday, October 23, 2003 1:58 PM CDT Congratulations on your one year anniversary/2nd "birth" day!!! What a great feeling, huh? God BLess!!! Lisa Post <ltjpost@cox.net> - Friday, October 17, 2003 5:27 PM CDT Happy "Birthday" Laney!!!!! It is so amazing to hear about all the "normal" things you are doing. You just keep on going and don't ever look back! I can't believe it has been over a year since we met your mom and dad. My heart was breaking for them having to take their "healthy" looking new baby down the road she had to travel. It was hard enough with Andrew and I had visual signs that he needed help. His birthday is tomorrow. He will be 4 years old. I guess I should be able to remeber your transplant date from now on. Enjoy your day! Love,Anne Anne Himes <www.caringbridge.org/page/andrewh> Boonsboro, md USA - Thursday, October 16, 2003 2:19 PM CDT Hi Beth. It was so nice to meet Laney today. I think of you both often. I am looking at her website and tears of happiness and heartache are streaming down my face. I just think about how we used to play with dolls when we were little girls....you were always the best "mommy". I know that the little angel Laney was given specially to YOU for that reason. I look at my Meredith who is 10 1/2 months old and Laney who is now 14 months old and see us as sweet little girls again. We had no idea what life had in store. I pray that our babies will be able to play together one day. When Meredith is old enough to understand, I will tell her a night-night story about how God work miracles and does not always grant us understanding of everything here on EARTH......and little Laney will be the "fairy tale princess" of my story. I love you both. Love, Scarlett and Meredith Rose Scarlett Matney McNeeley Oak Ridge, TN USA - Friday, October 10, 2003 9:55 PM CDT Dear Laney, We are very glad that you are doing so well! It was great to meet you in clinic. Take care, Harmen, Jan and Jacomien Durham, NC - Monday, October 6, 2003 8:04 PM CDT Beth Anne, I work with your Father here at Rockwell and he shared Laney's website with me, you have a beautiful daughter, that's all he talks about is Laney. God Bless you and your family, my prayers are still with you. Felicia Norman <ffnorman@powersystems.rockwell.com> Marion, NC USA - Monday, October 6, 2003 3:53 PM CDT I know what you are talking about. Riley came home to Oklahoma from having two transplants in Minnesota for Hurlers, he went into the hospital the day after we got home. I was not ready for this. I was on some nurses butt every day for something from not washing their hands to not starting his feeds when they needed to be started or not getting meds on a timely basis. I called our nurse practitioner, Katie, crying to come back. We stuck it out and I think they were glad for us (me) to leave. Thankfully we only had to do clinic from October to May. You get used to your transplant team knowing what to do and then you come home and wonder what planet this nurse or doctor are on. Hang in there and hopefully your clinic days will get better (and fewer)....now that they know you mean business. May God Be With You. xoxoxox......Jeanne P.S. if this is or some entry like this is entered twice, I am sorry, I hit the wrong button.

Jennifer Restemayer www.caringbridge.org/nd/allison <jennmarie@bis.midco.net> Bismarck, ND Usa - Monday, September 29, 2003 11:35 PM CDT Hi Laney! You sure are cute as a button! You don't know me but I have a special little girl in my life who also has Hurlers. Through her I have met so many wonderful hurler children and their families. I will be praying for you too now! It made me sad to read how hard you cried trying to access your port...and then it seems...all for nothing. You shouldn't have to go through such bad days! I will be checking back on you. God Bless! Lisa Post <ltjpost@cox.net> South Windsor, CT - Monday, September 29, 2003 5:33 PM CDT Dear Beth Anne, Don't you just want to ring these people's neck??!! Is it a rule that because our children have Hurlers we must deal with stupid, rude people on a daily basis?? I know my life is full of them. My husband says "be nice, we need them." Ahhhh Now I know why folks go postal. I am glad Laney is doing so well. We will be at Duke for one day-Oct 13th. What a lot of driving for 15 mins. Can't I just send a picture? I hope things shape up in your neck of the woods. Love, Anne Anne Himes <www.caringbridge.org/page/andrewh> Boonsboro, md USA - Monday, September 29, 2003 9:16 AM CDT Beth Anne- The pictures of Laney are precious. Thank you for the continued support. We love and miss you guys and (as much as I want to see you again) I hope we are not here when you guys get here for the one year studies. I can't believe the nurse at the hospital . . . I pray that this doesn't happen to you guys again. Poor Laney! I'm glad you let the nurse have it.

It's so nice to meet you! What a beautiful little girl you are!! It warms my heart to read your site and see that you're home and doing well. Last week was a tough week with the loss of several children. Thank your mommy for dishing out an extra dose of faith and hope through her entries.

Michelle Strayer Nolan Ramsey's Site The Colony , TX USA - Thursday, July 17, 2003 9:02 AM CDT Hey everyone! I hope you remember me, I was one of Laney's nurses on 5200. I was visiting Reeses' site and saw where you had signed the guestbook and got the address from there. I have wondered how you guys were doing. The pictures are awesome! She is as cute as ever! I still remember that sweet little face. I am glad her Pop is home and I pray for a speedy recovery. I remember what a special family Laney has. Who could not get better with all those grandparents helping out? Ha - Well, I am glad I found her site and I'll be checking in on her often. Take care and God Bless!

Jenny and I have been wondering how you guys did. I have a sweet picture of you guys the day we all met. If I can still hunt it up, I will send it to you.
