KERI : ) : ) : ) : )and OUR TRIP TO FL

[Guest guest]

KERI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Believe me

when I tell you I understand your excitement and the fact of how busy life

certainly can be. There is truly no need to apologize. I am just so very happy

to

finally know how you are. Especially when after going through what you and

your family have it truly is a miracle. I smile as I sit here writing to you

and

I wanted to share with the others here my joy, for without Karyn, this site,

and all who are a part of it, I am not sure where we would be today.

I wanted to share with you all too that my family and I just returned

from our long awaited truly over due trip to Disney. As you all might not know

this is where this beast reared its ugly head as I refer to PAINcreatitis.

Although my son Brandan lives with what is believed to be nerve damage, he is so

very much better than he was before his surgery. Our dream of Disney did

finally come true, we smiled more that week than I have seen in four years. BUT

I must tell you all for the first time my son rode a rollercoaster and he is

now the rollercoaster champion of the world...LOL. IT WAS AMAZING to see him

smile, a smile I have not seen in many years. Brandan also turned 18 while we

were in FL. and it is a birthday that I know for certain he will never forget.

We had so much fun we are thinking of going back again with friends in

November. For Brandan as I have said in the past this surgery was his second

chance.

As always we continue to take things " ONEDAY " at a time.

SO HAPPY KERI to see you back! Keep in touch. As always keeping you

and yours in our thoughts and prayers...Keep smiling (cuz sometimes its all one

can do!)TTFN.. : )

Peg,

I am glad you finally got your family vacation. I bet you all had a

blast!

You should know what an incredible inspiration you are. You gave me

incredible comfort preceeding my surgery. Your trust and faith in Dr

Sutherland allowed me to relax a little and not be as worried. He is

certainly being guided by a higher power, as anyone working miracles

must be. I hope continues to feel even better as time goes

by. I feel so lucky and blessed. Make sure he knows his brave

pioneering efforts, allowed me to have the surgery and a new life;

and my two girls finally have a whole mommy.

With deepest appreciation, Keri
