Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Hello Swapna and welcome to the group! I am beth, mother of Josh (soon to be 10) who recently completed his ear reconstruction with Dr. Brent. I am from the US (Michigan) and your dollar amounts are accurate. So glad to hear is doing well. I too believe our children have been blessed with so many talents and the perseverance to overcome life's obstacles. God bless you and your family!
