Great news Charles, great news.
I thank God we are living when we do.....the medical technology that keeps advancing is making parent's like yours lives so much better than even just a generation ago. Your daughter's surgery, while some might think it routine, is truly a miracle.
If I'd lived 40 years earlier, my daughter would have died of pneumonia, and my father would have passed away long before he actually did from a heart attack.
Longing for the good old days? Not me.
