Montgomery-Lay started an online blog to detail the trials and tribulations the family has faced since her daughter was diagnosed with cancer.
Logan Lay was diagnosed June 3, 2005, when she was eight years old. She went through seven years of solid treatment. She did three different cycles of chemotherapy and had full brain and spine radiation, as well as multiple surgeries.
The family embarked on trip earlier this year after Logan香蕉视频直播檚 doctors told the family that she was not responding to chemotherapy any more, Montgomery-Lay wrote in February.
On Aug. 4, she said the she, her husband, 14-year-old son and 21-year-old daughter are stuck in Lombok after the earthquake.

香蕉视频直播淏ut, yes, we have been hit by a 7.0 earthquake and it was scary as hell.香蕉视频直播
A powerful earthquake flattened houses and toppled bridges on the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok, killing at least 98 people and shaking neighbouring Bali, as authorities said Monday that rescuers still hadn香蕉视频直播檛 reached some devastated areas and the death toll would climb, according to the Canadian Press.
It was the second deadly quake in a week to hit Lombok. A July 29 quake killed 16 people and damaged hundreds of houses, some of which collapsed in Sunday evening香蕉视频直播檚 magnitude 7.0 temblor, killing those inside.

香蕉视频直播淥nce it is safe, we may try to go to the airport and get on any flight we can to either Kuala Lumpur or Singapore and make our way back to Bangkok to catch our flight home. We香蕉视频直播檝e tried calling the airlines and can香蕉视频直播檛 get through. We have very limited service, no Wi-fi and only one phone with data access.香蕉视频直播
Montgomery-Lay said most flights are already full.
