Holly and I will be flying to California on 8/22 for her round of follow-up tests and an appointment with Dr. S.

Things have been going really well, and so far nothing big happening, just a few minor headaches the last couple of weeks.  We are hoping for great results as everyone else does, but she has her angio on the 24th, her spect on the 25th and 26th and her mri on the 26th as well, then we have the weekend to see family and friends before we come back home.

I can't believe that its been that long already since surgery, if you all could see her, it just seems like a dream ....she has been swimming every day, riding her bike, tubing, running around, jumping, and everything else already....her hair is growing back good, and her scares are fading slowly.....she takes her aspirin every day most of the time without me reminding her....she's looking forward to playing sports again, and getting started back in school, she starts on the 17th of august.  We have found a  house (they have to build it first) and so we are moving into an apartment next week, and then into the house in about 5 months.....no more trips back and forth from Louisiana and Texas...we can get settled now and everything else.

Hope this letter finds you all well.....and I should be online for the next week before we move, then I have the chore of finding my computer that was put in storage (have no idea where its at)  but will get to it as soon as I can and get it connected so we can keep in touch....

Hillary and Family

P.S.
Anyone else going to be at Stanford the same time....give me a Hollar...would love to meet anyone...

Hillary -



That's awesome!  I'm very excited for you guys!  It's been about 7 months (wow, just realized 7 months today) since my surgeries - doesn't time fly!?!?  I wake up in the morning and I am in awe over the work that these doctors do.  It's amazing....night and day difference between pre-surgery and post-surgery.  Keep up the good work!
