my chicago experience

As many of you know I have been back and forth to Chicago for surgery. Just reacp for you why. I have what is called neurofibromatosis which causes tumors that grow under the skin. for me it was on my face. I have had 3 surgeries to make it complete. I look like a million dollars and feel awesome. My first surgery was about 10 hours and the second 5 and the 3rd one was about 3 hours. the recovery has gone well all 3 times. each time was shorter then the prior. but I must say I now look different and feel great! I am thankful to the Lord for providing the funding so that the trips back and forth could be accomplished. I appreciated any and all prayers. each time in the hospital was awesome. the staff there at the University of Chicago hospital are awesome. if you've looked at my mom's blog you'll sseen the pictures and soon will see the current. I can't say enough about Dr. McKennen he is an awesome doctor. I will probably post more about each surgery specific later. stay tuned they will be the next 3 posts probably or who knows I am just getting used to blogging so be patient with me and we'll have some fun.
