Re: GREAT NEWS RE: BPI AWARENESS

Re: Anyone at TCH January 13th??

Talked to Lisa Davis 2 days ago, and Dr. Nath said Shaylan does not need surgery. He looked at her tape and said she looked great. Thank you for all of your help.

Obviously, for my second child I found a doctor who listened to my concerns and wanted to know every detail about my first child's birth. (He actually delievered my 25 year old sister)This ...

Ashley:

Thank you! We are from Kansas and Shaylan will be 4 years old in February. As it gets closer I will call, I am still waiting to hear from Dr. Nath again.

You are so kind,

Anyone at TCH January 13th??

Our daughter, Shaylan, is scheduled for the clinic at TCH on the 13th of Jan. and then surgery on the 15th with Dr. Shenaq? Is there anyone going to be there then? She will be having the bicep lengthning and the pec release.

Thanks,
Shava

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
