In 8.5 hours I will be speaking to a group of new orientees to the medical center. This is the first time since being on the FAB that I have had to speak to the Nurses. Last year I was taped and it was played for Schwartz Rounds.

They ask that you bring pictures to make your stories more personal and to touch these new employees. So the last few days I have been looking thru pics, which is making this so much harder. I should not have done this. I am too emotional. I am very concerned about tomorrow. I am very concerned about surgery in a week. This journey...again....

Gabe 11 months old-Christmas Day. This was the pic that we saw his ridge. This photo was the start of his metopic craniosynostosis diagnosis.
