6 Weeks Post Op

This is Ashton & his pediatric plastic surgeon, Dr. Fearon. I really can't think of words that would suffice to clearly express my gratitude to this man. He is one of the most kind and caring individuals I've ever met. I asked him today if he has just become accustomed to changing peoples' lives on a daily basis. And he seemed so humbled that I thought of his work as life changing. He replied with, "I do the very best I can for every child I see and I try not to think about it more than that." I'm actually grateful that we get to go back and see him in 1, 5, & 10 years so I don't lose contact with this extraordinary man.
By choice I'd never want to go through the surgery process again. But if I had to, I don't think I'd be scared or stressed because no matter where in the world we are we'd fly back to Dallas to see this man. Anyway, he said Ashton's head looks great and everything is healing perfectly!

How wonderful!! I'm SOO glad he's doing so well! He looks GREAT Sammy. Great job Sammy going through all you have. You're such a great mom!

I know how you feel about the gratitude for the Dr. I feel the same way towards the one that did Nicci. Aren't we so blessed with such talented wise Dr.s?? What would we do without them?

How good would you feel lying down at night...and to think I feel good when I get the laundry done...think how you would feel if you changed a child's life??
