Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Carolyn ... I think that is an EXCELLENT idea for 2 reasons. 1. He will have a recount of exactly how things happened. 2. In the hopefully never, occurrance of this disease, you can recount what happened to see if it is all the same. Cameron is fortunate to have you for a Mom. You and are such wonderful advocates that I find it inspiring. Kathie > > > > ... are you speaking of our Dr. Patti.?? My son has his > surgery in May with Dr. Patti.
