I am requesting prayers be said and sent to Laurie Monroe, daughter of Robert A. Monroe and head of The Monroe Institute. I just got this email.
Love, Mairlyn
Hello all,
I just received this news from Frank DeMarco and am passing it on.
Love,
Rich
Well, I found out just a few minutes ago from Skip. Laurie has lung cancer. As you know, several months ago, Laurie fell and broke her left shoulder, then got pneumonia. When x-rays were taken it was found that her left lung had become detached from the wall of the chest cavity, perhaps as a result of so much coughing over a long period of time. On Monday she was operated on, but both the lung and the chest wall were covered with tumors, leaving too little healthy tissue to attach the lung to. What is worse, those tumors are cancerous. Removal of the lung is not an option because the trauma would be too severe in her weakened condition. Given her situation, without the use of both lungs, vulnerable to infection and still suffering from pneumonia, she remains in the hospital in Charlottesville. Laurie specifically asked that the staff not be informed of the gravity of her situation until today, so that this week’s residential program would not be disrupted. Staff, Board of Directors, Board of Advisors and affiliated New Landers have been notified, and Skip is finalizing a note that will go to the various computer lists like VML, etc. I told him I’d pass it on to you, Dirk, and ask you to be sure it gets to all the lists. I can put it on TMIExplorers if you wish, but there are so many others, including VML, F10Plus, Heartliners, and others that I don’t even know the names of. Quite a shock, eh?
