Re: One Year Ago Today !!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Debi

So good to hear from you again! I just read over 's website

at the CAPPS sight, oh, tears have been flowing out of my eyes .

Both tears of happiness for 's terrific outcome, but also

tears of sadness becuz should not have had to go thru that

surgery.

I am sure you are happy this is all behind your family and is

as healthy, active & smart as any other 2.5 yr old boy! It's

probably hard to beleive it's been a year already huh?

Hugs to you & your family. Thanks so much for your post. It is

great to hear from you again.
