Operation Pip Squeak (Part 3)

Silence is not always golden. So when she lost her voice again two weeks post Operation Pip Squeak Part Deux, she was really disappointed and frustated at having to start over again. But of course God is good and Dr. Maddern isn’t ready to give up and is still hiding a few tricks up his [...]

LTR/Rib Graft – Day 1 (Surgery Day)

She was all smiles all weekend and even all morning, even when they took forever to call her back. I was ready to jump outta my skin with all the waiting and anticipation. This picture was taken as they were walking her back to the OR. Right after this shot, fear kicked in and she [...]
