Today marks the 3 year anniversary of my daughter Cally's first surgery! I am very happy to say that she is a perfectly healthy 13 year old. She has had no side effects from moya-moya disease and leads a very normal life. I just want to thank God and Dr. Dauser for giving us a second chance at life. Thank you also to this web site for all the support. I can only hope that everyone that suffers from this disease will be as fortunate as we have been. :)
Sincerely, Michelle Fredieu

[glb]WOW[/glb] That is so cool. It really helps me to know how everyone progresses. I am still so worried about Tyler sometimes. He is doing wonderful, I am just a worry wart. Just knowing that other people seem to just keep healing puts my worries at ease. Thank you for the update.

Rena, It's natural I think to still worry.I still worry even after 2 yrs(not as much though).The first yr.(before her one yr.check)I worried a lot.after she got great test result  back from Dr. Scott I felt I could relax a bit. I love to tell people about how wonderful Kathleen's recover has been even though she was extremely unstable at the time of her surgeries.It should give others a very confident and hopeful feeling I think.I said it before but I have to say thank you to DJ for this site.
