Our new year will be starting off with surgery on Jan17th. will undergo a massive operation to fix his esophagus. They will use a piece of his colon to repair his esophagus. The surgery was not going to be until early March but after presented his case to the surgeon the date was moved up. My husband and were amazed at . We went to the surgery consult and they told us early March then said he wanted to talk....he simply told this surgeon that his throat was broken and he needed hime to fix it. He then proceeded to throw up in the doctors garbage can (twice) to show him what happens when he tries to eat. The surgeon never moved a muscle as he watched this presentation. ended the appointment by hugging the surgeon, rubbing his back, shaking his hnd and saying thank you for fixing his throat. Well the next day my phone rang it was the surgeon himself calling to say they had moved up 's surgery date. He was quite taken with 's presentation and said no one had ever hugged him before. My answer was Welcome to 's world! Keep us in your prayers on the 17th. Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
